I don't think it is necessary to do that. As an experiment, you could try extracting a single message from your archive.mbx (into say msg.txt) and then do bin/inject --listname=<listname> --queue=news msg.txt >Can mailman be invoked at the command line something like this?: > >cat archive.mbx | <some mailman executable> The problem here is that AFAIK there's nothing in Mailman you can use directly to 'parse' the mbx file. There's a Mailbox class which is essentially the standard Python mailbox.PortableUnixMailbox class which has a next() method to get the messages one by one, but no direct command (other than bin/arch) that processes mailbox files. Assuming the experiment above works, you could probably create a simple script in Python (or perl or even a shell script) that would extract the messages one by one from the mailbox and pipe them to bin/inject --listname=<listname> --queue=news (bin/inject reads stdin if no filename arg is given). -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
