[Mailman-Users] Migration from Majordomo to Mailman

[Timothy Arnold]

Hey all,

I have seen the light!

Now that I have searching working, we have decided to migrate from majordomo
to mailman. I am sure that someone must have done this on a large scale
before so I am looking for some tips on moving across.

There are two distinct areas that we need to migrate:

	- Users subscriptions (kept in listname.list)
	- Archives (mbox format)

I know that Mailman can do mass subscriptions so I guess that would be the
best way forward? Or can someone recommend another way?

Is there any way of preserving the way majordomo handles subscriptions via
email? We would like to have a similar interface.

Now for the archives - I have tried the arch command with success. Is there
a location that I can drop the existing mbox files and allow the archives to
be created?

If there is anything I have overlooked or might be of interest please feel
free to email me.

Tim.
