What exactly is your situation? I did a migration from Listserv 1.8d on a
Tru64 Unix server to Listserv 14.3 on a Red Hat Linux server last month.
That migration involved moving approx. 1,400 lists. When that migration
was complete, I did a rolling migration of a Listserv 1.8e Windows 2000
server to our new Listserv 14.3 server. The Listserv 1.8e migration
involved about 200 lists.

I will offer more details, but it might help to know the specifics of your
situation first, such as what types of servers you are migrating from/to
and what email transport agent you're using and if that part of the
equation is going to change.
