export mailman lists

[modom]

Hi,

Is it possible to export a mailman list of email addresses?

If so, how would you do it?

Thanks!

I googled for the answer but came up short, you might jump on the Mailman support mailing list and ask your question directly to the community.

You can get a list of the addresses fairly easy:

~mailman/bin/list_members MAILLISTNAME


where maillist name is the name of the mailing list that you want the list of email addresses for.

Hi,

Do I type this in at root?
~mailman/bin/list_members MAILLISTNAME

I got it! Thanks!

yep it executes the list_members file that is in the mailman home directories bin folder.

Can you tell me how I could copy this whole list?

I used the | less command but still copying one page at a time.

Easy way is to tell it to write to a file

~mailman/bin/list_members -o EMAILS.TXT MAILLISTNAME

Then you can simply download it to your main computer or similar using an scp/ftp client so that you can access it from any text editor

Thank you so much!

I just tried this and it worked great and certainly saved me a bunch of time.
