Description
Hi,
I just installed the module, but I have an already working mailman installation with lists and users. By browsing the bugs list there seem to have issue with already existing lists and already registered users. As Apparently the module does not see theses preexisting lists, is there a safe way to "import" them ?
Thanks,
Xav

The mailman manager module does not maintain any lists. All list info resides on the Mailman Manager server/database and the mailman manager module simply keeps track of subscriptions and passwords so that it can send commands to Mailman via email using each user's password.
Pre-existing lists can be added to the module by the admin. However, any users already subscribed to a list outside of the module must be registered into the module's database with their Mailman password in order for the module to be able to control their subscriptions.
The module does not and cannot "see" any lists and does not and cannot "import" any lists or users from Mailman.
