There is an LSOFT whitepaper here:
  http://www.lsoft.com/resources/whitepaper.asp

about moving LISTSERV to a new server. Moving lists is a subset of that
process. Logically it's relatively trivial when both hosts run the same
software: the Site Administrators copy the files from one host to the
other and make necessary adjustments to directory paths in the list
configuration.

There's even a New-list keyword available
https://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/listkeyw.html#kNewList to make things
easier for subscribers after the transition.
