FAQ 3.4 is a hodge podge of obsolete and newer stuff. See the two
archive posts linked from the second paragraph of the FAQ. Also see
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2007-January/055595.html>.

Basically, if your old list's are down, all you need to do for lists is
move the lists/<listname>/config.pck files and run fix_url if any
domain names changed.

For archives, you can move the entire archives/private/ structure, or
if you want to rebuild the archives, see the post linked above.
