Hi,

I have a list to migrate to Mailman3 from Mailman2 but the domain of the list 
may change at some point in the future.  I was hoping to marry up the 2 events 
but its not looking likely at the moment.

>From what I have tested the Hyperkitty archives can be imported into any list 
so long as it exists.  My question relates to importing the Mailman configuration 
files.

If we take a Mailman configuration file for l...@domain1.com, if I import that 
into a new Mailman3 list l...@domain2.com will it cause a problem?

No problem. The Mailman 2.1 list doesn't have domain information anyway.

Thanks for this.  Once converted to Mailman3 can I move a list to another 
domain on the same Mailman instance or change the list name?  Ideally I would 
do the switch when moving to Mailman3 but I don't know when the domain 
migration will happen and really want to close off moving these lists.

Thanks.
Andrew.


I would never make two big changes at one time (for some definition of
"big").  When I was a systems programmer on an IBM mainframe, one day
we made two big changes at once.  And a strange thing happened.  It
took a number of persons adding traces to the code to determine what was
happening.  And I looked at both pieces of code, ran successful-branch
traces, and still was unable to determine exactly what had changed in
each piece of the operating system to cause the problem.  By that time,
of course, we had modified the software to get around the problem.

I would consider changing a domain AND migrating Mailman to be two
"big" changes that should not occur at the same time.
