Until I get the list running there was an urgent mail to be sent - only in case if there is a trivial solution. > 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>" I think better get the list working before the next "urgency" ;-( Will come back if there is a need.
