Yes, Mailman will probably work if you start it as long as aliases or
whatever is required for mail delivery to the list are in place.

As far as lists missing from the listinfo overview, we are back to the
FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/lYA9>.

Assuming the lists are public (Privacy options... -> advertised = Yes),
the list doesn't appear on the overview because

VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = On

(the default), and the host portion of the list's web_page_url
attribute does not exactly match the host portion of the URL used to
access the page.

Perhaps you had

VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off

in mm_cfg.py on the old server and didn't carry it over. Or, perhaps
you changed it in Defaults.py on the old server; if so, this is why
you shouldn't do that.
