-[ From mailman-2.1/UPGRADING ]- UPGRADING FROM 1.x to 2.x In addition to the instructions above, I highly recommend that you make sure your Mailman queue is cleared /before/ upgrading. Mailman version 1.x had a cron script called run_queue which was part of its bulk mailer. With Mailman 2.x there is no default bulk mailer (it lets the MTA handle this), and it is currently unknown what the effects of upgrading are on the run_queue script, but I'll bet it's not good. :) The way to make sure that your Mailman queue is empty is to look in your $prefix/data directory. If you see any files that start with "mm_q." you've still got messages waiting on the queue. You can run $prefix/cron/run_queue by hand until the queue is cleared. Multiple invocations of this script won't help though; they lock each other out. Also, be warned that clearing the queue can take a while and may cause a large load on your system (two reasons why all this stuff has been redesigned in 2.x :). You do not need to run "make update" if you are upgrading from version 1.0 or 1.1 to version 2.0, since this is now run automatically when you do a "make install". However you should modify your crontab entries to execute cron/qrunner instead of cron/run_queue. You can also safely remove the file $prefix/cron/run_queue. If you are upgrading from a pre-1.0 beta, you need to follow the instructions below. -[ End Section ]- The rest of the doc is a good read.
