The addresses are in Mailman's lists/<listname>/config.pck file on the backup. All the good ways of getting them require access to a Mailman installation somewhere. Since you don't have that, you are left with running 'strings config.pck' and sifting through the output for the addresses. If you did have access to a Mailman installation, you could run Mailman's bin/dumpdb against the config.pck which would produce output easier to deal with, or you could create a lists/<listname>/ directory in that installation, put the config.pck in it and run "bin/list_members -f -p <listname>" -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
