We are looking at moving from a home grown listserv system at a client to potentially MailMan3 for the lists platform instead.

We have historic thread data from the homegrown systems in mbox form. Is there a way to import that into MM3 for indexing in the archiver there so we dont need to keep the (literally massive) MBOX file?

That's what the django admin hyperkitty_import command is for.

You can check the mbox for anomalies that might cause issues with the scripts at https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/tree/master/hyperkitty/contrib.
