ctory I was referring to.
Sorry if I confused you. :-(
Should I just remove that "spare" mailman directory from the user's space
now?

I'm sorry to turn up in your support forum again, Mark. I've fought hard
here to try to avoid that. The truth is it was our struggle with trying to
configure my old server for mailman back in June and July that proved to be
the straw that broke the camel's back with my old dedicated server hosting

Yes. It took me a while, but I finally connected you with our exchanges
from last June/July :)

cron is not involved.
Follow-up to last message. Wasn't sure exactly how to examine the contents
of the ourlist.mbox file in /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/ourlist.mbox
SO, I opened it with emacs just to see what it contained. The last message
in that file is one I posted on July 7th.
The prospects of recovering
First, I was wrong here. I was so horrified at the thought of having lost
all those old messages that I got the date wrong. It's actually worse than I
remembered. The last archive update appears to have happened in early
July... not early August. My last backup from the old server was September
28.
Okay, so now that I've got finally mailman moved and running on the new
server and working with postfix and apache2 and sending and receiving emails
and all that basic "stuff", I still have one question I haven't been able to
answer.
I seem to be missing two full months worth of archives. From
