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

1.1. Individual Lists

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