You may need to run newaliases to rebuild the alias database from /etc/aliases depending on your MTA Ideally, your system will be quiescent when you make your backup so the various queue directories in qfiles/ will be empty. Otherwise you may want to restore these. If you have archives, you'll want to restore the archives/ directory. You might want to restore the site password file and list creator password file if any from the data/ directory or just create new ones with bin/mmsitepass. If you want your old Mailman logs, you can restore those. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
