4.18. How do I backup my lists and their configurations/membership rosters?

You can use the following scripts in a cronjob:

  #!/bin/bash
  #set -x
  # Sends a file to an email address as a MIME attachment.
  # Syntax: mimemail &lt;subject&gt; &lt;file&gt; &lt;address&gt;
  # Note: Requires MH or nmh to be installed (uses MHN)

  subject=$1
  file=$2
  addr=$3

  echo "To: ${addr}
  From: nobody
  Subject: ${subject}

  #application/octet-stream [${subject}] ${file}

  " | /usr/bin/mh/mhbuild - &gt; /tmp/mimemail.tmp.${$}
  /usr/lib/mh/post -verbose -watch /tmp/mimemail.tmp.${$}
  rm /tmp/mimemail.tmp.${$}

#!/bin/bash #Put in a cronjob to archive your lists and email them to you #set -x
datestr=date +%Y%m%d host=hostname -f file=mailman.lists.$.tar.gz filepath=~/backups/$ sendto="root" cd /var/lib/mailman tar zcf $ lists cd ~/backups ~/bin/mimemail $ $ $

The result is a tarball emailed to you by the cronjob which contains the entire lists directory hierarchy of your Mailman installation.
