Summary
This post is about GNU Mailman and shows how to update the post id which appers in subject_prefix as prefix number.
It might be useful if you migrated Mailman servers using subject_prefix
option.
* "Mailman" in this post means not Mailman3 but Mailman2, because I use OpenBSD.
Tutorial
Use withlist
, "the most powerful and flexible script in Mailman", to manage the database.
# /usr/local/lib/mailman/bin/withlist $LIST_NAME
Loading list $LIST_NAME (unlocked)
The variable `m` is the $LIST_NAME MailList instance
Lock the database files and update the post id.
>>> # check it
>>> m.post_id
current number
>>> # update
>>> m.Lock()
>>> m.post_id = 9999
>>> m.Save()
>>> # validate it
>>> m.post_id
updated number
Quit the prompt.
>>> quit()
Unlocking (but not saving) list: $LIST_NAME
Finalizing
Done :)
