[Mailman-Users] migrating to new server

[Brendon Lloyd]

Here's a good one:

http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/567

However, I found that in addition to the steps described above, the 
"make install" script updates old data, archives, and lists directories, 
so it's best to install from source if you plan to migrate/upgrade.

Also you will need to run the /usr/local/mailman/bin/check_perms script 
to straighten out your permissions.
