To run this script the majordomo has to be setup on the same machine that is running mailman? When I tried to run this script on different machine that is running mailman it's looking for majordomo config location, error below. I just copied the majordomo mailing list over to mailman machine and run the script: [EMAIL PROTECTED] contrib]# ./majordomo2mailman.pl /tmp/bcc-portal-dev.archive.mbox/bcc-portal-dev.archive.0512.mbox can't open /var/lib/majordomo/lists//tmp/bcc-portal-dev.archive.mbox/bcc-portal-dev.archive.0512.mbox.config If I copy the mailing list from majordomo to mailman at the following location: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/ You need somehow to export the majordomo archive as a mbox format file (a flat file with raw messages separated by lines that begin From with email address and date), and then use Mailman's bin/arch tool to build the archive from the mbox. To enable this to work, I found out that you need to have an existing mailman mailing list if not it can't find the mylist: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailman]# ./bin/arch --wipe bcc-portal-dev.archive.mbox /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/bcc-portal-dev.a rchive.mbox No such list bcc-portal-dev.archive.mbox -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp

You first need to create the new Mailman list and then run the command ./bin/arch --wipe list_name bcc-portal-dev.archive.mbox Where list_name is the name of your new Mailman list. As far as the majordomo2mailman.pl script is concerned, it's unsupported. If it doesn't work for you, you'll need to set up the new Mailman list by hand.

[Mailman-Users] majordomo mailinglist migration to mailman
Hi there, I need to migrate mailing list from majordomo to mailman. I didn't see any instructions to do this, what are the steps? If I copy the mailing list from majordomo to mailman at the following location: /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/ This does not work. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thank you. -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=showamp;file=faq01.027.htp
