How many lists? How big are the archives?
Looking at https://lists.mailman3.org/archives/list/mailman-users@mailman3.org/thread/M..., it seems like it's not a trivial exercise.
However, I am wondering about the consequences of:
- dumping the DBs and doing 's/DOMAIN1/DOMAIN2/g' in the dumps, then re-importing
- editing settings.py and webserver config to reflect the DOMAIN2
- reconfiguring your MTA to handle list mails using the DOMAIN2
I am imagining a virtualenv type of installation. Is there somewhere in the data where the DOMAIN1 is hardcoded in a way that it cannot be replaced by a text editor? @Mark Sapiro <mark@msapiro.net> ?

Despite the small typos, this is exactly what I had in mind in my response above. So the only thing you did not document is my steps 2 and 3, which I believe are also necessary.
