You can change all of the members in a list using a tiny Python script using the bin/withlist framework, and then use a shell script (or another Python script) to loop over all of your lists.


If you create /usr/local/mailman/change_addr.py containing:
#---- change_addr.py ----
def change_addr(m):
old_addrs = []
for member in m.members:
if member.rfind("@a.z.com") > 0:
old_addrs.append(member)
for member in old_addrs:
m.changeMemberAddress(member, member.replace('@a.z.com', '@z.com'))


    # change the list owners' addresses
    new_owners = []
    for owner in m.owner:
        new_owners.append(owner.replace('@a.z.com', '@z.com'))
    m.owner = new_owners

    # save the updated list
    m.Save()
#---- change_addr.py ----

Then doing 'bin/withlist -q -l -r change_addr mylist' would change all of the member subscriptions in 'mylist'. A shell loop to do it for all of your lists:
for list in `bin/list_lists -b`; do
bin/withlist -q -l -r change_addr $list
done
(Leave off the -q to watch it in action.)


Confirming you have good backups of all your lists before doing any manipulation with withlist is a good idea. :-)
