Is it possible with Mailman 2.1.4-1 to change user settings from a
command line tool? For example set nomail to 1 for a user on a mailing

be designed to do this, does anyone have any suggestions?

You can do this sort of thing with 'withlist'.


$ bin/withlist -l -i mylist
m.setDeliveryStatus('[EMAIL PROTECTED]', MailList.MemberAdaptor.BYADMIN)
m.Save()
{ctrl-D}

If this is the sort of thing you are going to do often, you should create a little Python script to remember the messy bits and save some typing. You could create a file called nomail.py containing:

from Mailman.Errors import NotAMemberError
from Mailman.MemberAdaptor import BYADMIN

def nomail(m, addr):
    try:
        m.setDeliveryStatus(addr, BYADMIN)
        m.Save()
    except NotAMemberError:
        print 'No address matched:', addr

Then to disable someone, do (either explicitly or with a script or alias):

$ bin/withlist -l -r nomail mylist [EMAIL PROTECTED]
