Moving ezmlm between FQ servers

Hello, for the past 3 years, I've hosted bluesgroup.com's mailing list on sneakydave.com (before there was a bluesgroup.com).

For consistency's sake, is it possible to move the ezmlm from one host to another, or do I have to manually create each subscriber?

To obtain all of the addresses:

Log into your account (Telnet/SSH) and type (while in your home directory):

ezmlm-list listname >./listname.txt

Replace "listname" with the name of the list.

This will echo out the subscriber base to listname.txt (or whatever you choose to call the txt file) within your home directory.

Or upload the following short&sweet cgi script to your cgi-bin (after making the appropriate login info edits)
Code:
#!/bin/bash

list='listname'
xdom='xdomain'
user='accountusername'

ezmlm_list='/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-list'

cd /big/dom/$xdom/$user

echo -e "Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n"

echo "Current subscriber list for: $list <BR>"
echo -e "<PRE>\n"
if [ -x "$ezmlm_list" ]; then
  $ezmlm_list $list
else
  echo "The following program could not be found: $ezmlm_list"
fi
echo -e "\n</PRE>"
To insert the addresses into a new list you can copy and paste them into the bulk email address add box in the CNC on the new account.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THEIR PERMISSION TO DO SO!!! The above is for simply moving an existing list to it's new home but should not be used to duplicate your address collection into lists those addresses have not specifically subscribed to.

What kind of file name do you use for a script like that?

Re: Moving ezmlm between FQ servers

Tried the above script, but it fails with 500 internal server error.
I'm sure I've made the appropriate changes correctly, and gave the file permissions 755.
Given that this was written in 2002, is the path to ezmlm:
/usr/local/bin/ezmlm/ezmlm-list
still correct?
thanks, Grant
