Not a problem. I'm still running on the old system, so I can blow
everything away on the new system and start over (I should have said I
copied the archives instead of moved them). Right now I'm just trying to
make sure that I have the procedures in place. When I'm set I'll stop
smtp on the old system, transfer everything to the new system, and reset
the DNS pointers to the new one. I want to make this as transparent as
possible for the users, so I'm testing the hell out of everything before I
make the switch.
Thanks for the info. Will Mailman translate the config.db files to
config.pck?
