There is no mailman/Xaraya connection.
Mailman is totally autonomous. They dont work off the same list. Mailman
has a list of people subscribed to the email interface and thats it.
The xaraya user list is of those who have registered on the website.
Xaraya is only involved as a web front end to the NNTP backend store on
the newserver - it does not have anything to do with mailman whatsoever.

Maybe one day it will be possible to sync the two up or make a mailman
module for Xaraya but currently it isnt (mailman is in python for one
thing which doesnt help).
