I have an OSX Panther server that has been superseded by a Tiger
server. I would like to move a mailing list - specifically the
people who have signed up on the mailing list - to the new server.
The graphical interface doesn't let me copy any of the names.
How would I go about doing this? I have almost 800 names...
If you just want to copy over the email addresses of the members (you
say "specifically the people who have signed up on the mailing list")
after you have set up the new list properly on the new server use /
usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members and bin/add_members -or- use the
web interface to mailman which . The URLs for the pages for the
latter are advertised in the footer of messages sent from the lists.
However if your mailman users are used to using their mailman
passwords this won't preserve these, obviously, nor does it copy over
any membership attributes.
If you wish to migrate over list or member attributes and
configurations then you'll want to explore more of the docs and files
mailman uses.
For instance you can dump out a list's configuration and re-import it
something like:
Likewise you could backup and copy over list archives, etc if you
need those, but if all you're looking to do is copy over list
subscriber's as you stated then use either the list_members/
add_members tools or web GUI.
