I'm new to the list, so please be kind. :-)
A friend of mine running Mailman successfully on a Linux system for
years moved and got another job. To make a long story short, he has a
Tar file of his entire Linux system with Mailman (1.9 gigs) and wants
to be able to send out an e-mail announcement to the people on that
list now informing them of a delay until he gets the list back up.
Right now, he doesn't have access to a Linux system, but does have this
Tar file on a Mac OS X (with Darwin), so he can unTar this file. I have
offered to help him, if I can. We would like to be able to retrieve a
list of subscribers from his Mailman installation's Tar file. I can
help him with OS X's Darwin and Linux, but have not yet worked with
Mailman.
Q: What is the directory path to where the e-mail addresses of the
subscribers in Mailman reside? (He has been hosting only one list
including its digest users.)
Q: Can these e-mail addresses be extracted (exported) to an ASCII file
without the use of executing any Mailman software?
Thank in advance!
