The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaun - CRU <address@concealed>]

The bounces and archives directory for the list (location defined
by 'arc_path' and 'bounce_path' in wwsympa.conf) should also be renamed.
I also recommend you rebuild the web archives afterward.

We plan to add a 'rename list' feature in WWSympa....but not today ;-)
