Yes and no. You want to copy the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file for sure. You may or may not want to copy the others. In particular, if you copy lists/LISTNAME/requests.pck and there are held messages for the list, you also need to copy all the data/heldmsg-LISTNAME-* files or you will wind up with non-existent held messages. > Or, alternatively, does config_list output sufficient information of all > the settings and characteristics such that I can then input on the other > server? It will do for the list's config, but it won't move list members or any of their settings or passwords. Moving the config.pck will move these things assuming you aren't using some non-standard MemberAdaptor. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/4030682> and the list posts linked therefrom. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
