They are the list configuration and membership (config.pck) the 'backup' list configuration and membership (config.pck.last) The list's pending confirmations (pending.pck) The lists moderator requests (request.pck) The var/lib/mailman/lists/* tree is what needs to be moved in order to move lists from one server to another. Also you need to move the heldmsg*.pck (or heldmsg*.txt if you set HOLD_MESSAGES_AS_PICKLES = No) that are in mailman's data/ directory (/var/lib/mailman/data/ ?) and the archives in /var/lib/mailman/archives/* These steps or variants thereof are outlined in the list posts referenced by the FAQ <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.004.htp>. >> Are they current?

It is safe to move them to a more recent Mailman version and mailman will update them as needed for the new version as they are accessed. It may be a problem to move them to an older Mailman version, but that is not the case here. A different Python version should not be a problem as long as Mailman runs on the new installation. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
