==== Transferring Lists ====
You can transfer lists from another server and keep everything in tact. It's an easy process but the Mailman FAQ and info seems to be sparse and complicated. This simplifies everything.
OLD SERVER
First stop the mailman service.
/etc/init.d/mailman stop
Next, tar/zip up the lists.
tar -czvf /temp/mailman.tar.gz /var/lib/mailman
Next, transfer it onto the new server.
scp -P <sshportnumber> /temp/mailman.tar.gz <newserverip>:/var/lib
NEW SERVER
Change to the rpm location.
cd /install
Install the rpms.
yum localinstall mailman-* smeserver-mailman-*
Extract/untar/unzip the tar/zip file.
tar -xvzf /var/lib/mailman.tar.gz
The rpm should have expanded the httpd configuration file and restarted the service but it hasn't. Small bug. The following reconfigures the httpd/web service (this should be able to be replaced with an event, but I'm not sure which one, yet -if you know, change it or talk it).
expand-template /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Now we have to restart it to take effect. Since it's a 'supervised' service, we just have to stop it. It will start again on its own.
/etc/init.d/httpd stop
Finally, start the mailman service.
/etc/init.d/mailman start
All your lists and lists' configurations should now be available at: http://domain.name/mailman
