[Mailman-Users] Recovering users from hard drive
My drive failed after creating a new list, I would like to recover the list members from the server. I have the original file that I imported from however I did a lot of cleanup after the import and before the drive failed. My hope is that after putting the drive into a second computer, and if I can see the data, is there a way to extract the mailing list members?

The list configuration and membership, etc is all in the lists/LISTNAME/config.pck file and lists/LISTNAME/config.pck.last is a backup. If you have a working Mailman installation, you can create a LISTNAME list and then replace its lists/LISTNAME/config.pck with the recovered one. or you can run Mailman's bin/dumpdb to extract the data without actually installing the file as a list. Otherwise you can extract the addresses with 'strings', but not in a very nice form. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.
