Hi people,
I'm wondering if there is a way to import archives from our previous
list
software into Sympa?

We were using Majordomo, and I've got the archives in mbox format, broken
down
into monthly files.

Is there some sort of script that I can use to inject these into the Sympa
archive? If not, can someone at least detail the process I'd need to follow,
and what format (if any) that I'd need to convert the messages to, so I can
write a script to do it?

I know I'll have to regenerate the web archive for each list once I import
the
old archives into Sympa, so that isn't an issue.

I'd prefer a script (even if I have to write one), as I've got about 420 Meg
of archives to import, and I'm not keen on doing this manually.

Many thanks.
