WordPress (WP) users have email addresses. It's relatively trivial to extract those addresses, and, say, feed them through to sync_members(8)... Pulling in the name (if that's your fancy) could also be done quite easily. As for passwords, I'd not do this, at all; particularly if you've not zapped the password-reminders crontab. You'd also, presumably need to unsalt the password-hash stored in WP. I'd just generate a random password for Mailman. It's trivial (although, quite how so many failo…) to receive a password reminder, after all. (Maybe add in a 'Mailman password' field into the WP users' table, and in the user's settings pages, and feed that to Mailman?) > Is it possible? I'd say: email addresses: yes names: yes passwords: no, and you shouldn't.
