[Mailman-Users] Restoring Mailman after a crash?

Until last week, I was pretty lucky with Mailman. I installed it, and it did its thing. Beautifully. Last week my FreeBSD system had a disk crash. The drive only makes sickening clicking sounds and SpinRite can't touch it. Luckily, I'd been doing weekly backups, so I didn't lose more than a
