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 <subject> <file> <address>
  # 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 - > /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.
