Yeah, i see this is allright and all...

Now what really has me gnawing on my footnails is, why do i have some
lists that do have a config file, but i have others that do not.

In fact, most do not have the config file.

 QmailAdmin calls ezmlm-make.  The config file in the list's directory 
 should tell you everything you need to know in regards to creating the 
 list.
 
 You should be able to use the config file to generate a call to 
 ezmlm-make to create your new list, and then pipe the output of 
 ezmlm-list (for the old list) to ezmlm-sub (for the new list) to 
 transfer the subscribers, moderators (if appropriate) and digest 
 subscribers (if appropriate) to the new list.
 
 I suspect you could simply copy the subscribers, mod/subscribers and 
 digest/subscribers (I'm guessing on that digest path) from the old 
 directory to the new one.
 
 ezmlm-make is probably a better solution than just copying the list's 
 confi directory and recreating the .qmail-list-whatever symlinks, as 
 you'll have to edit the configuration files to use the new list's 
 pathname, and change the old domain to the new domain in files like 
 inhost.

Just to clarify, if i have this config ezmlm file:
F:-AbCDEFGhIjKLMNOpQRSTUVWXYZ
X:
D:/home/vpopmail/domains/grupogonher.com/normatividad
T:/home/vpopmail/domains/grupogonher.com/.qmail-normatividad
L:normatividad
H:grupogonher.com
C:
0:
3:
4:
5:
6:
7:
8:
9:

The ezmlm-make  to create it was: 
ezmlm-make -AbCDEFGhIjKLMNOpQRSTUVWXYZ 
/home/vpopmail/domains/grupogonher.com/normatividad 
/home/vpopmail/domains/grupogonher.com/.qmail-normatividad  normatividad 
grupogonher.com

I mean... the F stands for the parameters given to ezmlm-make, D is dir,
T is dot, L is local and H is host... right?

[vchkpw] Migrating all lists to another domain

2006-02-21 Thread Alex Borges
Okay,

I wanna move about 50 ezmlm lists to a diferent domain.

I wanted to do it like this:

List all lists from source domain
for each of those
   create list in new domain
get users of source list in source domain
for each of those
create user in new list


Now i suspect that copying directories and files will do the trick but
im not shure. Also, i wonder what ezmlm-make parameters should i use.

Im going through the source of qmailadmin right now and im shure to find
out exactly how those lists get made by it, but im also shure you guys
can come up with a better way to go about it.

So, takers?
