What will happen to our existing BestServe lists?

Will the server remain up for a while after shell accounts are migrated,
to allow an orderly transition?  Once the server goes down, what will
happen to mail to the various list addresses (posting, subscribe or unsub
requests, moderator commands, etc.)?  Will such mail bounce, or be
forwarded somewhere, or what?  Will we be able to get copies of our
subscriber lists and configuration settings?

Is this covered in some FAQ?  I thought I remembered a FAQ about email
lists (which included, among other things, recommendations for software
such as MojoMail to run after the migration) but now I can't seem to find
it.
