Hi all,

So this is one of those stupid questions, I expect, but I'm trying to recover a list server from partial backups. I have the list configs from /var/lib/sympa/list_data which gives list names, and they're all at the same domain. However, I don't have a database dump.

Is there a way I can recreate the list_table from this data? That'll at least let me regenerate aliases, and the list owners can do a password reset to gain access to their lists. For most of them they'll know who should be subscribed.

I reckon I could script something from the config files to generate SQL to do this, but I am wondering if there's a better way.

Cheers,
Dave
