This is excellent advice. Thank you. I'm using Mailman 2.1, and plan to u/g to 2.1.1 as well.
You stated, "do what you wish with the nomail people." I suppose I have to add them as mail-recipients and then set nomail by hand. There shouldn't be too many of them :)
Thanks.

What I'd like to do is to delete the list and recreate it, then add the users back. I can extract a list of users and re-add them, but I cannot figure out how to save their settings (such as digest and nomail).
Is this possible, or should I just tell them that their options are going to be lost.
The easy way would be to tell them all options will be lost. But if you want a bit more work, you could save that info. Just will take a few extra steps. You didn't say which mailman you use, which only means the -f option won't be availiable on mailman 2.0.x (which is to preserve the full name), so this information is based on mailman 2.0.13
This gives you all the regular (non-digest) members in a file called regular.members # bin/list_members -rpo regular.members LISTNAME
This will put the digest members in digest.members # bin/list_members -dpo digest.members LISTNAME
If your using mailman 2.1 then you can get the nomail users # bin/list_members -npo nomail.members LISTNAME
Then you can readd them using bin/add_members And I'll give you mailman 2.1.1 examples since now would be a good time to upgrade if your redoing the list. Highly recommended upgrading to 2.1.1
# bin/add_members -r regular.members LISTNAME # bin/add_members -d digest.members LISTNAME
And you can do what you wish with the nomail people.
