Where did you send it? It should return an error if sent to the -request address. Send mail with subject 'help' without the quotes to the list-request address. Also, see <http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node41.html>. >I tried to search the Mailman FAQs, other documentation, and >various searches in Google, and have been using about 45 >minutes on this, and I'm not even close to find anything >about getting the subscriber list by E-mail. >So is it impossible? No, it's simple (see above), but be aware that the list returned by email 'who' does not show hidden members. >If so, what is an alternative way >for the other two to get all the subscribers at once >(and not 30 at a time)?
