That's largely going to depend on Listserv.

I don't know how Listserv stores their archives. Mailman uses
7th edition "mbox" format files, which can be imported using the
"arch" tool. See
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp>
and
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.003.htp>.

I don't know that anyone has written a step-by-step guide to
importing Listserv mailing lists. If you find or create such a
thing, please let us know.
In the meanwhile, I recommend that you read the documentation at
<http://www.list.org/docs.html> for List Managers and Site
Administrators, check the searchable FAQ Wizard at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py>, and search the archives
of the mailman-users mailing list as shown at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.018.htp>.
