It is possible, but probably more complex than you need.

I'm not sure what you want. If you want to get the list's current
archive to move to another archiver, the entire archive is normally
(unless you've changed default settings) contained in mbox format in
Mailman's archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox.

If you want to invoke some process on each new message as it arrives,
the easiest way is to subscribe a local address to the list and alias
that address in Postfix to a pipe to the process. Also, see the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/RAKJ> and read the

section in Mailman's Defaults.py.
