No shell access to my hosting service.
That would be a problem.
I presume I would at least need the shell access to do a list_members?
Directly or indirectly, yes.
I do have access to cron jobs and I have used that to poke around a bit and locate the subsriber lists. No luck there. Would I likely have access to list_members if I had shell access?
Maybe, maybe not. You'd have to have read and execute permissions available to you into the space where Mailman is installed, usually in /usr/local/mailman/. Even if you had shell access, your hosting provider might not give you that kind of access.
I have found that I can not easily get a list of subscribers emailed to me with a "who" command transmitted via email. I would have to change a parameter on each and every subscriber via the web interface. Total number of subscribers spread over two lists is about 400. Is there a convenient way to expose the addresses of all subscribers?
I think you're going to need to use the script tools I previously mentioned. I don't remember the exact URL, you'll need to search the archives of the list.
HEY! I think I've got it! I put "~mailman/bin/list_members > list_members" in a cron job and got a list_members file that contains list_members help.
Oh? Wow. I wouldn't have expected that you'd be that lucky. Cool.
