Regards Rod -- Rod Neep I'm probably not the ideal person to ask about this. I have the benefit of a backup server which I use to rehearse MM upgrades and correct problems before doing the real thing on our dedicated primary MM server. I need to do that as I use/maintain a number of MM upgrade patches and need to produce upgraded versions of those when new MM releases come out. I also use a Sendmail mailer (patch #644810) rather than maintaining a file of mail aliases. I guess one of the big changes from 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 is the revised mail aliases for each list and so I didn't have to deal with that. My own experience with the 2.0.13 to 2.1.1 upgrade was that at a basic level it was trouble free. I just read the INSTALL and UPGRADE documents and got on with it.. I tend to take the view that it has to be done and it will not get any easier by waiting. MM 2.1.1 has some nice extra features which I wanted the benefit of them. That said I only ran the beta versions of 2.1 on my backup machine on test; I'm not that keen to risk beta software for production use. I suggest a post to the mailman-users list asking about risk/experience on the upgrade to 2.1.1 will be more useful than any further comment from me.

About 1/3 of my lists didn't upgrade properly for some reason so I ended up sort of painfully reconstructing them from the information I did have. I'd suggest dumping the configurations of all your lists before you start just to make sure recovery is relatively easy.
