mailman list migration, centos to ubuntu

[David Mehler]

Hi,
I don't have a detailed procedure, as it just sort of fell together,
but here's what i do have/did.
I installed mailman on the new server and set it's configuration to
match the old. On my old server the postfix alias and mailman
virtual-mailman files and their coresponding .db files went in
/etc/mailman and that was the path needed in postfix's main.cf. On the
new server those files are stored in /var/lib/mailman/data and that's
the path used. Data migration, i googled that and found data configs,
and lists, used rsync to transfer those files from old server and
place them in the appropriate locations on the new one.
Hth
Dave.
