[Mailman-Users] Checking the Database

[Anilkumar Padmaraju]

Thank you, Mark!  We have over 100 lists in our mailman server, out of those 10 lists we are moving to another application and seeing how to move.   

The mails are archived under /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/<listname>/.  Under that directory there is database directory containing files like below.  How that is related to lists/LISTNAME/config.pck or any advice on moving this database files to that new application.

Your installation is Mailman 2.1. Mailman 2.1, at least as distributed, does not use a database. All persistent data for a list is in a Python pickle at lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.

There are 3rd party add-ons to use LDAP or MySQL for membership data, but you almost certainly aren'tusing either of those.
