You should be able to just copy the old config.pck to the new server and run bin/withlist -l -r fix_url listname to fix the domain names in the list. You don't normally need to do anything in /etc/hosts. I don't know why Mailman crashed. What were the bazillion processes? Normally, only mailmanctl spawns processes and those are only the queue runners. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
