To test this, I created [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.decibel.org/mailman/listinfo/test In postfix, I setup the following in main.cf: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtuals/virtual, .... regexp:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtuals-regex/decibel.org, where virtuals-regex/decibel.org contains: # commands /^(test)-(post|admin|bounces|confirm|join|leave|owner|request|subscribe|unsubscribe)@nasby.net$/ mailman-$2+$1 # lists (command -post) /^(test)@nasby.net$/ mailman-post+$1 (yeah, I flubbed the file name... oh well...) I can now post, subscribe, or issue any commands by sending email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Feel free to subscribe and test for yourself. While this forwarding implimentation is obviously postfix-specific, the point is that as long as the email eventually makes it to the proper list addresses, that's all that mailman cares about. So, is there a formal project setup anywhere for the migration? ISTM that it would be best to create a project on either gborg or pgfoundry with the intention that it produce a set of code/scripts/procedures that allow for migrating projects from gborg to pgfoundry, since obviously moving lists over is a minor portion of the effort. -- Jim C.
