Hey, First of all thanks to all the guys for quick and nice suggestion. The thing is that I have some hardware issue. I want to first upgrade my existing system , then I will use mailman3. Currently I have mailman-2.1.4 running on mya live smtp(postfix) server. I want to migrate 2.1.4 to 2.1.14. I already installed 2.1.14, its working. I installed from source code with location /usr/local/mailman and in existing server it mailman installed throung yum. binaries are in /usr/lib/mail and variable data dir is /var/lib/mailman. Then can any one suggest how to migrate all the data from existing server to new one.
