Fields with many 'other' or 'no value' values, or +fields that don't get imported (e.g. message_headers) that have many +'has value' values might need to be considered more closely. + + +Testing +------- + +This script was tested against Majordomo 1.94.4/5 and Mailman 2.1.14-1. +Different versions of Majordomo or Mailman may not work with this script. +However, some legacy settings for Majordomo are handled. + + +Limitations +----------- + +* Archives are not currently handled. +* A few Majordomo configuration values are ignored (documented in the comment +above the getMailmanConfig() function) because they are either inactive, +system/constant settings, or don't tranlsate into Mailman. + + +Todo +---- + +* Add an --archives option to also import archives. |
