Then you are really going to like the next version (mm v2.1). You can set mm v2.1 to use your own database instead of the default one that Mailman currently uses.
Currently, I pump user info out of Mailman by using the command line scripts: config_list (list config items) dumpdb (complete database dump, all specs and members and their information) list_lists (list of all the mailing lists running on the site) list_members (list of the email addresses in a mailing list) remove_members (delete an email from a mailing list) And I pump info back into Mailman by using the command line scripts: add_members (add an email address to the list) clone_member (add an email address to the list with specific user settings) config_list (upload configuration changes to the list) sync_members (one of my favorites - syncs a mailing list with a text file of email addresses) I use scripts to dump and mingle data from my SQL databases with the Mailingman lists. Works fine, and now that I've started playing with Python and accessing the SQL databases directly from within Python, things are really getting fun!
