Is there a way by which the *moderators* (which are sparse in different institutions and have access to the mailing list only via the web interface) can apply a mass edit (changing domain1 and domain2 into domain3) ?
Moderators, i.e. people who have only web access to the list and know only the moderator password, cannot make any membership changes. They can only handle held messages and requests via the admindb interface.
People who have only web access to the list and know the administrator password can visit the admin pages and make changes, but even they cannot directly change a members address without confirmation from the member, and there is no function for mass change of domain.
Or can that be done via line-mode commands only by the *administrator* (who has the list server in house) ?
The server doesn't have to be "in house", but one does need command line access and write permission on the Mailman installation. If one has such access, the script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/change_member_address.py> can do exactly what you want.
