1. Migrating Mailman Between Servers

Copy /etc/mailman to new server
- Might just need mm_cfg.py and vhosts_cfg.py
Copy /etc/exim4/mailmandb to new server
Stop mailman to prevent messages from being delivered while copying data: service mailman stop
Copy /var/lib/mailman to new server
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
Start mailman on new server: service mailman start
Reload exim, and everything ought to work

DomTool also needs some settings updated.

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