Hi All
I'm trying to import a large mbox file from a MM2 list into a new list on MM3.
The new MM3 list has 3 test emails in its archive. ... The import or rebuild has failed as it's just rebuilding the existing archive of the 3 test messages.
What am I doing wrong?
Presumably, the 3 test emails are newer than the messages in the archive .mbox. The default for hyperkitty_import is to not import messages older than the newest message in the existing archive. You need to specify something like
--since='1970-01-01'on the hyperkitty_import command to import these older messages.
Thanks Mark. That looks more promising. It's been chugging away now for 3 hours with only 4 errors reported so far.
# cd /usr/share/mailman3-web/ # python3 manage.py hyperkitty_import --since='1970-01-01' -l LISTNAME@DOMAIN /home/mark/tmp/LISTNAME.mbox
"Failed adding message ......@mail.yahoo.com>: A string literal cannot contain NUL (0x00) characters".
The mbox file is about 3 GB. The errors look like they're for messages that aren't kosher (maybe misplaced "From"s in replies).
I can live with a few missing messages.
Back to watching the spinning pipe. Chug chug.
Cheers Mark
