Thanks Jim tried that already, with abysmal failure. I couldn't generate a regular expression that would work with 'withlist' either - some hand-editing of the condig.db revealed that the address was malformed very badly - interpreted about four different ways. Homage to Mailman's valiant attempts to protect itself, but a nasty little surprise to boot.
So, I'm about to grab all I can from the list and regenerate it, sans-bad-address. A big hammer, but the least-time-consuming option from here. I suspect the address was added back in MM2.0 days, and nobody has looked at the subscriber list using the admin interface for a few months. Oddly enough, the roster available from /listinfo/ pages is unaffected. It renders the address with a curly quote... I'll see if anyone has added regular expressions in member-removal functions to the wishlist.

No, bin/remove_members does not allow specifying subscribers with regular expressions. You can use Mailman's bin/withlist to remove subscribers with ill-formed addresses. -- Jim Tittsler http://www.OnJapan.net/ GPG: 0x01159DB6 Python Starship http://Starship.Python.net/ Ringo MUG Tokyo http://www.ringo.net/rss.html ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/
