Hello, I'm relatively new to Mailman (switching from ezmlm) and I'm curious
if there is a way (outside of the command line) if you can view a
listing of a complete list to be able to print it for hard copy
reasons, so that you don't have to print 26 different ones?

I figured out how to do that in the command line (/usr/lib/mailman/ bin/list_memers [listname]) but most of the company management
doesn't know the command line and I'm trying to take the step of them
having to go through me to export the list in the command line and
give them the ability to do it themselves.

I wrote a shell script that essentially does

 #!/bin/csh
 foreach list (`ls /var/lib/mailman/lists`)
  /usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members $list
 end

does some reformatting, and stores the file on the Mailman machine. The output has

 --------
 listname1 user1@example.com
 ...
 --------
 listname2 user2@example.com
 ...
 --------

so it can be searched by listname or e-mail address.

I run the cron every hour. The list of all subscribers to all lists is available to those who have access to the Mailman machine. Something like that might suit your needs. Depending upon the frequency of subscribes and unsubscribes, you could run it more frequently.
