List name

B wrote...
I am trying to replace a Yahoo list with one on riseup.net. The Yahoo list was named "oaklandgreens". When I tried the error message said the group already existed, It appears that I set it up in the past and then closed it., I think that was because folks wanted a yahoo list. When I tried to restore the list I got:
AUTHORIZATION REJECT (restore_list) This action is restricted to listmasters.
Is there a way to restore. reactivate, or recreate this list?

I recently created a list oaklandgreenparty. If the oaklandgreens list could be removed from the server i could just rename the oaklandgreenparty list to oaklandgreens. I currently get an error message that the oaklandgreens list already exists, when I try to do that.

If I am able to get the archives of the group from Yahoo, I would love to be able to somehow upload it to a riseup group. Is that possible?

Hi,

I renamed the old list to something else (still closed) and then renamed oaklandgreenparty to oaklandgreens.

For migrating from yahoo, maybe this will help?
