[Mailman-Users] unsubbing people who don't know their address
OK, we have some people subscribed to a list (a list with some 5,000 people on it)... and they can't remember what email address they used to subscribe to the list so that they can unsubscribe themselves. They write and ask me to just search for any subscribers from 'thisdomian.com'... in these cases they own the domain and don't remember which username they used to subscribe. I noticed in /mailman/bin a script called 'find_member' but I don't 'read' python and don't know if that's some kind of utility to do what I'm trying to do. TIA for any assistance.. cheers, J. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Joshua S.

Re: [Mailman-Users] unsubbing people who don't know their address
Thanks Greg... I was reluctant to run the script until I knew what it did and what parameters it took.. I guess I didn't give the creators of mailman enough credit and for that I am truly sorry! cheers, J. On Fri, 19 Oct 2001, Greg Ward wrote: > On 19 October 2001, Joshua S.

[Mailman-Users] renaming a list
I have an installation of mailman with one list running. It's for my daughter's school. Currently, the list name is 'atrium' and it's description is 'atrium school email list'. I won't go into all the details, but I think it might be wise at this point to rename it 'unofficial-atrium'... the description I can manage myself. What is the best way to rename a running list?
