DaemonAdmin / Mailman

1. Migrating Mailman Between Servers

  1. Copy /etc/mailman to new server

    • Might just need mm_cfg.py and vhosts_cfg.py

  2. Copy /etc/exim4/mailmandb to new server

  3. Stop mailman to prevent messages from being delivered while copying data: service mailman stop

  4. Copy /var/lib/mailman to new server

  5. In /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdef on:

    • the new mailman host: unset HCOOP_MAILMAN_RELAY_HOST

    • all other mail servers: set HCOOP_MAILMAN_RELAY_HOST to the new mailman host

  6. Start mailman on new server: service mailman start

  7. Reload exim, and everything ought to work

DomTool also needs some settings updated.

1.1. Move All Lists

The entirety of /var/lib/mailman can just be rsynced between servers. This is assuming Debian configuration where system controlled content and data like locks are stored in external directories and just symlinked from /var/lib/mailman.

2. Importing Individual Lists

Not entirely sure, but an old post on mailman-users might have some insight.
