Presumably, with some lists on 2.1, and others on 3.0. That would mean the admin would need to be able to specify which lists to migrate. I guess you might want to consider whether special handling is needed for virtual domains. I know we’ve been operating a nasty cludge, where we’re using SUBDOMAIN_LISTNAME@DOMAIN for an internal representation of [email protected]. I suppose that’s unusual or unique, but it might be nice to allow migration of a list in 2.1 to a list with a new name in 3.0. > Any help you need, let me know. > > (I've been ridiculously swamped at work these past few weeks.
