Will end of support for mbox create problems for mailman

I do confirm that Mailman has archives in mbox format per an 11.30.0.25 machine I checked:

Code:

root@sloth [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/archives/private]# ls -lah
total 32K
drwxrws--x 8 mailman mailman 4.0K May 30 16:13 ./
drwxrwsr-x 4 mailman mailman 4.0K May 26 11:59 ../
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4.0K May 30 16:13 cpacct_testing.foo/
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4.0K May 30 16:13 cpacct_testing.foo.mbox/
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4.0K May 30 16:13 testing_testing.foo/
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4.0K May 30 16:13 testing_testing.foo.mbox/
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4.0K May 26 11:59 mailman/
drwxrwsr-x 2 mailman mailman 4.0K May 26 11:59 mailman.mbox/

I cannot answer your question at this point without further research, but I can confirm that mbox files do exist in the Mailman archives.

 

mailman stores its data independently of cPanel so this will continue to work in the future.

We actually moved away from mbox in 2005, and discontinued support for it in 2008:

We have been keeping it on life support up until now.
