Transferring Mailman email lists

Hello,

I am seriously considering switching to Hostgator. I am pretty impressed with your service and features so far.

I completely understand your instructions found in your backup.html file. I did a test run on a dummy domain and was able to restore my site with no problems, except for one: My problem is that this method does not backup Mailman email distribution lists, and Mailman provides no functions to backup/restore (as far as I can tell). One of my clients has about 200 addresses on their distribution list and I don't want them to have to re-enter all of them into the system.

I was reading on Cpanel.net about a WHM backup/restore function that allows the resellers to connect to your old host and copy EVERYTHING directly from WHM on that host. My current host does not have that feature turned on. Does Hostgator WHM do that?

Thanks!

Greg

We don't usually move sites for clients but we might be able to help you on this. I can't guarantee it will work as I know that many people have problems with mailman after moving it on the new server, it seems the WHM's move and backup option is a little buggy when it comes to Mailman as well. Please email me at sales@hostgator.com to talk about this.
