The FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/z4A9> lists the commands and what they do. Each command has a --help option that gives the usage and options for the command. The two most useful commands for manipulating non GUI things or things for all lists at once are bin/withlist and bin/config_list. Withlist can run Python scripts against one or all lists and can invoke an interactive Python interpreter with a list instance that can be examined and changed interactively, but this requires both Python knowledge and some knowledge of Mailman internals. bin/config_list is more "friendly". For example, in this case you would just create a file containing the single line admin_member_chunksize = 100 or whatever number you need, and run bin/config_list --inputfile /path/to/above/file listname -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
