Programtically Adding/Removing Users remotely
Hi, I'm using an hosting provider that provides mailman facilities but mailman is running on a server that I do not have shell access on. I would like to programatically add/remove users from a mailing list. If I were ON the mail processing server then I would simply use the add_members and remove_members utilties.
So, I'm asking to find out if anyone knows of any tools that can do these 2 operations on a remote mailman installation (perhaps using the administrative interface via http using a username and password of course)
I can probably handle writing it myself, but was hoping something already exists.
Thanks

This didn't seem to address the issue of unsubscribing all users.

3.53.

That's the whole FAQ. Trying to find 3.53 in there will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Go to the index and pull up just 3.53.

It don't directly address that issue, no. However, it does reference tools that let you do pretty much all the standard administration functions which would normally be done by command-line tools on the server side, and to instead script them through the web interface.
Since what you want to do could be done through the web interface anyway, what you want to achieve is just a matter of automating those actions.

For example, the unhide.py script at <http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb> can be easily modified to make an unsubscribe script and then that code combined with code in the mailman-subscribers.py script to make a remove all members script.
