[Mailman-Users] Checking the Database

[Anilkumar Padmaraju]

Thank you, Mark.  This information is helpful.

Does /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/database/ is also pipermail archives.  The directory name says database, so not sure what database is it.  I see below files under that database directory:
2016-September-article
2016-September-author
2016-September-date
2016-September-subject
2016-September-thread

Regards,

Anil.

The archives a separate thing. The important things are

lists/LISTNAME/config.pck which has all the list configuration and membership info.

archives/private/LISTNAME/* which is the pipermail archives for the list

archives/private/LISTNAME.mbox/LISTNAME.mbox which is a cumulative mbox containing all archived posts and which can be used to rebuild the pipermail archive.

For info on moving lists and archives, see <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030682> and <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030681>.
