Thanks for the help, a few following questions...

Ok, I'll copy the /lists/<listname> directories to the new server. Then
how do i tell Mailman to create config.pck out of the config.db? Does
mailman do this without me telling it to do so, or do I have to run some
command or maybe access the web admin pages?

As for the qmail I've found
http://www.uni.edu/~prefect/devel/mailman-qmail/index.shtml which seems
to fix the aliases for me.
