Patrick has already replied that you can do this with bin/withlist if you have shell access to your Mailman installation, but I suspect you don't or you'd be using bin/list_members in the first place, and this wouldn't be an issue. Assuming you don't have shell access, I'd use the mailman-subscribers.py script referred to in the FAQ I mentioned before - <http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.062.htp> - to obtain a .csv repersentation of the admin Membership list pages and then import that into a spreadsheet and make a list of those member addresses that are 'hidden'. Then I'd go to <http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb> (also mentioned in the FAQ) and get Jim Tittsler's unhide.py script and run it with the appropriate modifications to the URL and list password and the hidden member list as input. Both these scripts will be slow for a 20,000 member list because of the sheer volume of http transactions involved, but if you don't have direct shell access to the Mailman installation, it beats doing it by hand. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
