Hey there,

Im going to breakdown my response into sections:

1. Yes, there is only one install of mailman on the box.

2. I created the list using the script below

3. My method of importing it is by copying the lists to /opt/mailman/old/lists and running these commands (within lists)

MYDIR="/opt/mailman/old/lists" DIRS=ls -l $MYDIR | egrep '^d' | awk '{print $9}' for DIR in $DIRS; do mailman import21 "${DIR}"@afilias.info "${DIR}"/config.pck; done

However, if you look at the above you can see where I am going wrong. What it should actually be doing is:

MYDIR="/opt/mailman/old/lists" DIRS=ls -l $MYDIR | egrep '^d' | awk '{print $9}' for DIR in $DIRS; do mailman create "${DIR}"; mailman import21 "${DIR}"@ afilias.info "${DIR}"/config.pck; done

Sorry for wasting your time on this one. Coffee is on me.

Shortly after I run an import on a bunch of lists they all disappear. [root@mailman3(stg) mailman]# mailman lists No matching mailing lists found

I have 30+ lists.

Does the 'mailman lists' command invoke the identical 'mailman' file as the 'mailman import21' command that did the imports. And how did you create the lists before importing them?

We have done several imports of 2.1 lists to <https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/> and have never seen an issue like this.

Scratch that. Ran with the corrected script and getting the following: [root@mailman3(stg) archives]# mailman lists No matching mailing lists found

Any thoughts?

This

for DIR in $DIRS; do mailman create "${DIR}"; mailman import21 "${DIR}"@afilias.info "${DIR}"/config.pck;

is still wrong. The list name for mailman create needs to be fully qualified as in

for DIR in $DIRS; do mailman create ${DIR}@afilias.info; mailman import21 ${DIR}@afilias.info ${DIR}/config.pck;

(Do you look at the output from your script?)
