I have a list of 6000 users and I wish to change the setting for all subscribers to Conceal the member's address Acknowledge the member's posting I can see how to set it for new members but not existing existing members.

If you have command line access to the Mailman installation, see <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/set_unhide.py>.

This withlist script sets all list members to NOT be concealed. It can be easily changed set all list members to both be concealed and to have their posts acknowledged by changing the one line

    mlist.setMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.ConcealSubscription, 0)

to the two lines

    mlist.setMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.ConcealSubscription, 1)
    mlist.setMemberOption(member, mm_cfg.AcknowledgePosts, 1)

If you don't have command line access to the Mailman installation, you could probably modify the web admin screen scraping script at <http://www.msapiro.net/scripts/mailman-subscribers.py> to do this. See the existing --unhide option in the script.
