The method mlist.getDeliveryStatus(member) gets the delivery status of
member. The method mlist.setDeliveryStatus(member, status) sets the
status of member to status.

Valid values for status are

# Delivery statuses
ENABLED  = 0                           # enabled
UNKNOWN  = 1                           # legacy disabled
BYUSER   = 2                           # disabled by user choice
BYADMIN  = 3                           # disabled by admin choice
BYBOUNCE = 4                           # disabled by bounces

You can set these as a numeric value or you can import them from
Mailman.MemberAdaptor.

For example:

--------Begin set_byadmin.py------------------
from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYADMIN

def set_byadmin(mlist):
    mlist.Lock()
    for email in mlist.getMembers():
        user, domain = email.split('@')
        if domain == 'old_domain':
            mlist.setDeliveryStatus(email, BYADMIN)
    mlist.Save()
    mlist.Unlock()
--------End set_byadmin.py-------------------

Save the above as bin/set_byadmin.py, then

bin/withlist -a -r set_byadmin

Thank you. OCD is a terrible thing to waste. :-)
