[Mailman-Users] Private archive is public after migration!

[Jon Carnes]

Make sure the archive settings are correct for the lists in question.
Now, since you moved over the Mbox files for the lists, delete the files
in the current archives for those lists:
  ~mailman/archives/public/<listname>/..
  ~mailman/archives/private/<listname>/..

Then run ~mailman/bin/arch on the lists to regenerate the html archive
files.  Good Luck - Jon Carnes
