The following short python script will do the job. Save in a file

start query-posting.py 
------------------------------------------------------------
#! /usr/local/bin/python

# change the line above to where you have installed python

# save the file and chmod u+x it
# run as ./query-posting.py

import sys

# change path in the line below to reflect where you have installed Mailman

sys.path.append('/mailman/run')
from Mailman import Utils
from Mailman import MailList
from Mailman import Errors

for listname in Utils.list_names():
     try:
         mlist = MailList.MailList(listname, None)
     except Errors.MMListError:
         print 'Maillist error, MM unable to access list "%s"' % listname
     else:
         print 'List "%s" has member_posting_only=%d' % (listname, 
mlist.member_posting_only)
end query-posting.py
