Just last week I did a move all my mailmna lists to a totally new server, I moved where mailman was installed and had a new version of Mailman.
I needed to run
bin/withlist -l -r fix_url -a
as described in 3.4 in the Mailman FAQ and then I encountered the apparently known problem described in 3.38 in the Mailman FAQ, ie.
After upgrading mailman it gives out erroneous moderation messages, eg "Subject: -1 LISTNAME moderator request(s) waiting This fixes itself when you go to the link.
There is a description how to fix the problem other than going to the link, but to be honest, the description was not written in a way that I could understand to fix the problem. I understood how to use the python fix for one list but I have about 400+ lists and I didn't want to run it by hand on all 400+ lists. So I just told owners to click on the link and it should fix it for them.

I'm trying to successfully migrate all lists and associated accounts over to a new server. I copied everythign in the /lists and /data directories. This seemed to produce the lists just fine but none of the addresses tied to each list came with them. Thoughts?
(You will probably also want to copy the archives and mm_cfg.py customizations.)
If you copied the contents of the lists directory, that contains all of the subscriber addresses.
If you mean the addresses to reach the mailing lists, you will also need to copy or recreate all of the aliases that pipe mail into mailman (unless you use an MTA scheme that automatically detects the lists, which is most common for Exim users). the bin/genaliases command can (re)build the complete list of aliases for your lists. (If you are using Postfix, you will also want to tell it where to find the aliases in the data directory... details are in README.POSTFIX.)
