I can't seem to get this one to work. I have the script installed and I am getting NO error messages and a confirmation email address telling me I have been removed, but when I look at the member list my address is still there. It is as if the "status=`/home/mailman/bin/remove_members newtest $addr`" part is not working. I noticed a few typos in the script and fixed those like "rm -f /tmp/addr" should be "rm -f /tmp/$addr" unfortunately it still does not work.
