mailman2sympa's Introduction

Presentation

Mailman2sympa is a set of scripts aimed to facilitate the migration of mailing list managed by mailman to sympa.

The problem with such scripts is that they are used only once by an individual. So it may be difficult to find a permanent project manager.

I hope that each user will have the good idea to send back all enhancement they would have to apply to the package.

Features

The version 0.0.3 of the package can do the following tasks:

  • create one list in sympa for each list found in the mailman space.

  • create the subscribers files et config files for each list with the appropriates attributes, when still relevant.

  • creates an aliases file to be concatenated at the bottom of /etc/aliases.

  • split the archives stored by mailman into the mhonarc archive directory

  • in the limited extent, restore the Content-type header when the message is multipart, so that mhonarc may nicely process attachments.

  • load the subscribers files into the database. Can specify a different database (NEW_DATABASE) for testing. Change NEW_DATABASE=DATABASE for migration

This scripts gave me a good result, but I'm not sure they would for you. If you have problems, I can take an hand, but as my lists have already been migrated, I donr't have anymore a test bed to run the software.

You can contact me at [email protected]

Hope this helps.
