Well some guy named Mark supported one method in the past 8-) (which I found googling ‘how to disable a mailman 2 list’ because I’d like to know how, too, since we do occasionally have need to do this.)
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2010-September/070283.html Since he appears to have shell access using the script you gave would let him move the list directory to someplace like /path/to/mailman/lists/[listname] to /path/to/mailman/disabled lists/[listname] That would let him re-enable the list without having to recreate everything.

Can I combine the list_lists and list_owners commands to output both (hopefully linked) values as a .csv? `list_owners -w` will list the owners by list name. If a list has no owners, only the list name will be output for that list. You could then process that file to identify the lists with no owners. 2. Is there a script that any of you have leveraged to batch disable lists without a defined owner? What do you mean by `disable`? A withlist script like ``` def no_owner(mlist) if len mlist.owner == 0: if not mlist.Locked: mlist.Lock print('List %s has no owners, disabling.' % mlist.real_name) <code here to disable list. I could provide it if I knew what that meant> mlist.Save() mlist.Unlock() ``` saved as no_owner.py in Mailman's bin/ directory and run via ``` bin/withlist -a -r no_owner ``` You could omit the code ``` if not mlist.Locked: mlist.Lock <code here to disable list. I could provide it if I knew what that meant> mlist.Save() mlist.Unlock() ``` I.e., just leave the print statement in the `if len mlist.owner == 0:` clause to just print the names of lists with no owner. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net<mailto:m...@msapiro.net>> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
