Ahh. These might be permissions problems. You may have execute permissions to run the scripts, but you might not have read permissions to access the data.
So, it appears that I'm not really getting to my mailman data. Probably some path problem that I don't understand.
Could be, but I'd be willing to bet that it's actually a permissions issue.
The only way to know for sure would be to get it working, and then figure out what had to be fixed.
Taking some other tacks, I have access to supposed mailman backup files. Including there is a config.pck for each list. The .pck files contain the subscribers, but not in an easily decipherable form. Any idea what I might do with a .pck file?
That's something you'd need to feed to one of the Mailman scripts. With a local Mailman installation, a .pck file for a list, and the Mailman scripts, you should be able to do a list_members on that pickle file and have the system Do The Right Thing.
I just did a local install of mailman to try to better understand where things are, but I haven't gotten it to start. Probably because I don't have a mail server. I do have apache running on the same box that has mailman. Any suggestions on using a local mailman? How to turn off the expectation of actually sending mail?
I don't know that being unable to send e-mail should be a problem. I'd expect you to be able to get all the web admin stuff working fine. However, in your case, I don't think either the web nor the mail admin stuff is necessary.
What I think you want to be able to do is to apply the Mailman scripts to configuration files from your lists, and that should be do-able without either a mail server or a web server.
