There is a WARNING on

If you run the
mailmancommand without any -C option, it will look for a config in /etc/mailman3/mailman.cfg
In my case, running mailman without any arguments just makes it grok :)

Ultimately, when I did the import, there was only one email from the
archives that failed to be imported - which I honestly don't mind, but maybe there is a solution for this "'utf-8' codec can't encode character '\udcae' in position 331: surrogates not allowed" ??
If you provide a copy of that message from the mbox, either on the list or to me directly, I'll investigate.
A mbox file containing that email and the associated thread can be downloaded from here: https://webmail.kictanet.or.ke/~wash/chunk_7.txt.gz
