I'm trying to use the list_members script to list the members in the list, but it says the list doesn't exist, even though it does!
root@bounty [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin]# ./list_lists 6 matching mailing lists found: Cbmvols - [no description available] epistle - Paul's E-Pistle Mailman - Mailman site list ogniwapat - Ta-Pa-Win-Go Fans PaulsEpistle - [no description available] Prayer - [no description available] root@bounty [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin]# ./list_members epistle No such list: epistle root@bounty [/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/bin]#
Any Suggestions?

Clearly there's something amiss here. The list name shown in the list_lists output is the list's real_name attribute. Normally, this name must be the same as the name of the list's directory in the lists/ directory except for case. The name of the list's directory in the lists/ directory must be lower case.
list_members is normally not case sensitive. i.e. it works whether the listname is typed in lower or mixed case, but if the actual list directory name is not all lower case, list_members (and other things too) won't find it.
So, look at the contents of the lists/ directory and make sure that there is an 'epistle' directory and that it is all lower case and contains no transparent characters in its name.

You're using cPanel from the looks of it. cPanel patches the standard Mailman source to allow for multiple lists with the same name in different domains. The way they do this is to add the domain name onto the listname. Obviously, they didn't make the patch change the output of list_lists though and this is confusing (it would be even more confusing if you actually had multiple lists of the same name and used the --bare option to not display the list descriptions).
Try adding _yourdomain.tld to the list name when you call list_members. Something like:
./list_members epistle_example.com
You can see the real list name when you go to the list's web pages, if you need to figure out what domain name to add.

Thanks, you are correct in saying I use cpanel. I knew the lists had something appended to them by cpanel, but I thought it was only their username. Turned out it was the full domain, and after looking in the lists/ dir, I found that out.
