Depends. If you have no digest members, full names, subscribers who get no mail (check by comparing list_members -r, list_members -f, list_members -n) or can you ignore that stuff and do not care about preserving passwords etc then I would try something like this: #make a backup first list_members listname | grep @XXXX > /tmp/adresses remove_members -N -f /tmp/adresses # edit /tmp/adresses and replace @XXXX by @YYYY add_members -r /tmp/adresses If this is not what you need then clone_member is probably the tool you need. But I never tried this myself. Start again with #make a backup first list_members listname | grep @XXXX > /tmp/adresses # edit /tmp/adresses so that every line of the form # name@XXXX # is changed to # clone_member -r name@XXXX name@YYYY # in vim I would try something like :%s/\(.*\)@XXXX/clone_member -r \1@XXXX \1@YYYY/ sh /tmp/adresses If all else fails, tell the teacher that its a good exercise in computer science for the pupils if they change their address themselves (Probably switch on monthly reminders). :-) -- \ J.
