[Mailman-Users] regular expressions/wildcards in remove_members?

[Adam Steer]

Thanks!

My Python is sadly lacking, I'm afraid. I was able to use the method
below to search for a string in the address and remove it. Reckon it's
worth adding to the FAQ?

Cheers

Adam.

You could also import the re module if you really need regular 
expressions to isolate the address(es).
