All the instructions/advice for moving lists are about moving from one Mailman 2.1 installation to another. Migrating lists from Mailman 2.1 to Mailman 3 is totally different. For that, you need a working Mailman 3 installation. You migrate Mailman 2.1 lists roughly as follows: Create the Mailman 3 list with `mailman create` Import the Mailman 2.1 config.pck with `mailman import21` Import the Mailman 2.1 archives/private/xxx.mbox/zzz.mbox mailbox with the Django Admin hyperkitty_import command. I'm a bit confused about the rest of what you want to do. First, I don't know what your DMARC issues might be with your current lists, but if your Mailman 2.1 installation is relatively recent, there is essentially no difference in DMARC mitigations between that and Mailman 3.3. Then, your OP said you wanted users to be able to mail to the list at [email protected]. If you don't control DNS, you apparently can't make the MX for oldserver.domain.com point to the new server, so the only way to accomplish this would be to maintain the old server and create aliases there (or change the existing Mailman aliases) to send all the mail to listname(-*)@oldserver.domain.com to the corresponding listname(-*)@newserver.domain.com address and also make [email protected] an acceptable alias of [email protected] list. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
