We've had a 5 year old email alias used internally by our tech staff that I am turning into a Mailman list. I have the archives of the alias as mbox (or just about anything else)... is there a way to import those old emails to Mailman such that they are archivable/searchable within Mailman?
The bin/arch tool (normally used with the --wipe argument) can take ~mailman/archives/private/mylist.mbox/mylist.mbox (an mbox file) and (re)make pipermail archives. If you prepend the old mbox to the one the new list has created, and do 'bin/arch --wipe mylist' you should get a rebuilt set of archives for 'mylist'.
(Note that by default, Mailman's Pipermail archiver does not include a search facility, although many people integrate one into their archive schemes.)
