So you want to "rename a list". That's not easy. Barry posted a procedure last August for doing this, in message ID <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; check out the archives for that message, and see if it works for you. If so, we could perhaps add it to the Mailman FAQ.
It may be easier just to dump the subscriber list, create a new list, and restore it. You'll lose user options and archives (at least without some extra manual work), but perhaps that's acceptable. The reason you can't just change it is that directories are named based on the list name, among other reasons. > Upon more investigating, I need to change the value of "_internal_name": > > -------------------- > root@corvette /home/mailman/bin> python -i withlist Jack_domainname.com > Loading list: jack_domainname.com (unlocked) > >>> print m.GetListEmail() > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>> print m._internal_name > jack_domainname.com > -------------------- > > However, the following seems to work, but doesn't save permanently: > > ----------------------- > root@corvette /home/mailman/bin> python -i withlist Jack_domainname.com > Loading list: jack_domainname.com (unlocked) > >>> m.Lock() > >>> print m._internal_name > jack_domainname.com > >>> m._internal_name = "jack" > >>> print m._internal_name > jack > >>> print m.GetListEmail() > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >>> m.Save() > >>> > Unlocking (but not saving) list: jack > Finalizing > ----------------------- > > The next time I run the withlist script, the old values are still there. > > Anyone know how to get that value to save permanently?
