Mailman keeps the raw archives in 7th edition mbox format, which 
might potentially be something that could be imported into Yahoo! 
groups.  You'd have to ask them to be sure.

In some cases, site admins do not configure Mailman to keep both raw 
archives and send messages to the "cooked" archive processor (either 
the built-in pipermail or an external archiver like mhonarc), so you 
might have to reconstruct the archives into a format that Yahoo! can 
import.


The big thing you'll need to find out is whether or not Yahoo! is 
actually capable of importing any archives, or if you will have to 
provide that information in some other way.

And that's not something we can help you with.
