Obtaining Membership List
I first need to say I am not a professional tech person. But Mailman version 2.1.15 comes with my site, so I've been running it for my Adult Education Association.
Now, our Pres would like to get the listing of the membership and I don't know any quick or easy way of obtaining the list of 330 subscribers for her.
Could someone explain how I can get the subscribers' list.
Would gratefully appreciate it.
Cheers,
Bill McQueen in Toronto

If you have access to the command line there is nothing easier. Using my system as an example (you will need to know where mailman was installed):
$ /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members listname
will get an alphabetized list by email address
$ /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members -f listname
will get a list including the full name (if it exists) for each subscriber. Given the size of your list you'll probably want to capture to a file so:
$ /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members listname > ~/list_subscribers.txt
will put the output in a file called list_subscribers.txt in your home directory. Then it's just a matter of using ftp (or whatever mechanism you usually use) to get the file to your local computer.
I'm not aware of any easy way to do this from the web interface. Perhaps someone else can help with that.

Dear Bill,
Actually it is easy to get that information. Send an email to
<listname>-request@<xxx.xxx>
In the body of the email type
Who <list password>
You will get an email back that contains all those email address you have subscribed to the list.
Make sure under privacy options, you have the
Who can view subscription list? Administrator checked off and make sure you're an administrator.
Hope this helps.
