Now I'm working on the last bit... going through the archives and
rebuilding them. A bit more of a pain than I'd normally think, because
the mailman archive rebuild program doesn't handle large files which of
course the mbox files are. So I'm having to break them up by date ranges
and import individually. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of
programs to manipulate and break up mbox files, so I'm writing ditty's
to do it.
Jay, we've recently converted some clients' mailservers from mbox to
maildir operation. I used a Perl script named mb2md.pl to migrate all
the client accounts' mail archives.
If having each spool as a directory and post as a separate file in
the directory will help, grab mb2md. It's very well-documented and as
far as I can tell it's completely reliable.
It's also not horribly slow, given the task it has.
