[Mailman-Users] Cleaning out lists of users
Our school system has over 30 lists that are maintained by different people. I'm looking for an efficient process where I can delete addresses from all lists without having to wade though the lists one by one. Finding one email in the mess is bad enough but when you're talking about clearing 50+ at a shot it is insane! Thanks for any suggestions!

You could fairly easily accomplished this using the "remove_members" variable via a console session (see: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/site.html).

Thanks everyone... got the job done. However I think I'll script a combination of the find and remove_members to remove an email address from all lists in one stroke from a file. If I get it working well I'll be sure to post the script for yawl.

If you wanted to live that dangerously, it might be easier to just remove the sanity check in remove_members that prevents you from using the --all and --fromall switches at the same time. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/crew/jwt/ Mailman IRC irc://irc.freenode.net/#mailman -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
