Presumably, cie-info in '-f cie-info' is the output from
bin/list_members or something similar.
It looks like you have a member with a totally bogus address that maybe
got added by someone pasting some HTML into the list for a mass
subscribe (2.1.4 and prior weren't too good at keeping stuff like this
out).
What do you see if you
grep href= cie-info
You need to make a new members file with list_members and remove any
such bogus entries. Then you can use that as input to remove_members,
and finally see
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq03.013.htp>
for suggestions on how to remove the bad ones.
Or, since you are deleting everyone, you can just dump the config with
bin/config_list, remove the list (but not the archives) with
bin/rmlist, create a new list with the same name, and configure it
with bin/config_list using the old config as input.
