Import emails from database of another mailing system

[Dexter01]

I have a large database of emails (in MySQL) and 4 groups that the contacts belong to. I would like to convert data to phplist by simply using a few SQL queries that would copy data from my tables to phplist's tables.

Is there a tutorial how to do it?

(I would find it out in the source code what are the relevant database tables but it's not so easy as I hoped so)

Thanks!

Without delving into MySQL, why not try exporting from your existing DB into a CSV file, opening that within a text editor, seeing what headings are used for your email list and creating these as attributes in phpList, then import your CSV file into phpList, having made a back up of your phpList db first of course.
