The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Scott Hall <address@concealed>]

Konstantin, 

Thanks for your reply.  I did use your code.  However it still appears to be for moving from mailman to sympa on the same server.  Rather than a new server.  And my issue is the new server does not support mailman and thus is not really easy to install it on.  And when I'm running your script I'm getting these errors over and over again. Any idea what I may be missing?

And all that I have found related to the mailman2sympa migration scripts are for migration from mailman to Sympa on the same server. Consequently, all of the parameters in the configs relate to having mailman and Sympa on one server. I am reaching out to the group to see if anyone can point me in the right direction to do this migration in a more manual way.

I have my original mailman archives with the .mbox format copied to the new Sympa server. I can come up with a way to script importing the lists and member easily enough I think. If anyone has any scripts they've used for this I would be very grateful to see those.

I have an own version[1] and even created a MR[2] to sympa-contribs in the past with
update :)

1. https://github.com/LAKostis/mailman2sympa
2. https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa-contribs/pull/16

For migration configuration check conf/ directory with distro specifics
file locations and paths.

Then just run mailman2sympa.sh and it will convert your mm lists to sympa
lists with needed config in sympa directory.

I don't remember all problems but most annoying one was the subscribers
list - mailman have subscribers per list but in sympa subscribers are
linked to domain.
