Hi Bruce.

I have already re-archived cobalt lists to my mailman here is how:

1. Download .mbox files from cobalt

cd /home/
mkdir cobalt-lists
cd /cobalt-lists/

wget http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-users.mbox/cobalt-users.mbox

wget
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-security.mbox/cobalt-security.mbox

wget
http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-developers.mbox/cobalt-developers.mbox

2. Provided that you have cobalt-users, cobalt-security, and
cobalt-developers configured
as local lists on your mailman then issue the following:

/home/mailman/bin/arch cobalt-users
/home/cobalt-lists/cobalt-users/cobalt-users.mbox

/home/mailman/bin/arch cobalt-users
/home/cobalt-lists/cobalt-security/cobalt-security.mbox

/home/mailman/bin/arch cobalt-users
/home/cobalt-lists/cobalt-developers/cobalt-developers.mbox

above arch command will run thru the targeted mbox and re-index the messages
to your archive
without overwritting any old data on your current archive.

Mailman Arch uses the memory (RAM) to process mbox files so you may run out
of memory
when trying to process cobalt-users.mbox.  Best solution is to split
cobalt-users.mbox to
reasonable size patches and apply them one by one.

Regards.
