Hi All-- My server suffered a catastrophic hard drive failure. I have backups (unfortunately, two weeks old, but that's better than nothing), but when the server was restored I was forced to upgrade to Fedora 6 (from 4) and to Mailman 2.1.9, where it used to be 2.1.5 (I think).
I also have Plesk, through which I make new lists; once the lists are made, their administration is exactly like a normal Mailman installation, except for the locations, which I know. List aliases are made by Plesk. What's the best procedure to restore my lists? I've got a dozen, but only three have significant traffic. Do I copy the backups to the proper location and then make the lists with Plesk, or do I make the lists first and then copy the data in? I also have significant customization of the admin and info pages; can I rescue that without too much trouble? Or do I have to transfer all the custom modifications by hand? (It's all appearance, by the way; nothing affects Mailman operation in any way.) Thanks very much for any advice at all.
