Syntax for some commands involving subdirectories changed in 7.  Look at
man ezmlm-list

You may find that
ezmlm-list testlist mod
and
ezmlm-list testlist digest

work better.

You might also want to check the files such as=20
manager, editor, etc that process incoming=20
messages, to see if they have commands that are=20
affected.  For example, if you have lists which=20
allow only subscribers to post, the commands=20
which check the allow and digest lists may fail=20
if they use the old syntax, causing all posts to=20
be rejected.  (I got burned this way).

I think you can upgrade all the files to the new=20
syntax with the ezmlm-make -+ command (but=20
research this  before taking my word for it,=20
because I might not have the right syntax).  Be=20
aware that doing this will make the contents of=20
those files look very different than previously.=20
The results should be the same as before, unless=20
you had manually included any commands or flags.=20
Those might be lost in the upgrade.
