That makes sense. Are there instructions on how to do this?
It depends on the MTA. For Postfix you probably have a set of aliases for each of the form:
mailman: "|/path/to/mail/mailman post mailman" mailman-admin: "|/path/to/mail/mailman admin mailman" mailman-bounces: "|/path/to/mail/mailman bounces mailman" mailman-confirm: "|/path/to/mail/mailman confirm mailman" mailman-join: "|/path/to/mail/mailman join mailman" mailman-leave: "|/path/to/mail/mailman leave mailman" mailman-owner: "|/path/to/mail/mailman owner mailman" mailman-request: "|/path/to/mail/mailman request mailman" mailman-subscribe: "|/path/to/mail/mailman subscribe mailman" mailman-unsubscribe: "|/path/to/mail/mailman unsubscribe mailman"
You could change these, preferably in a separate aliases file so Mailman's genaliases won't overwrite them, to
mailman: mailman@new_server mailman-admin: mailman-admin@new-server mailman-bounces: mailman-bounces@new-server mailman-confirm: mailman-confirm@new-server mailman-join: mailman-join@new-server mailman-leave: mailman-leave@new-server mailman-owner: mailman-owner@new-server mailman-request: mailman-request@new-server mailman-subscribe: mailman-subscribe@new-server mailman-unsubscribe: mailman-unsubscribe@new-server
For exim, you would need to add another Mailman router ahead of the existing one which would match only the migrated lists and specify an smtp transport which relays to the new server.
Then once we are done migrating to the new server, then we can just change the DNS, correct?
Yes
