OK. Here are some other things you might feel comfortable with. I
suspect the first two won't work, but they are worth a try.
1) click on the bad address link on the member list. if this gets you
to an options page for the bad address, check the 'Yes, I really want
to unsubscribe' box and click 'Unsubscribe'.
2a) if 1) doesn't work, try
bin/list_members --output bad_member_file --invalid list_name
Check the contents of bad_member_file to make sure it doesn't contain
any good entries. It may not contain all the bad ones either. If it
doesn't, you could do
bin/list_members --output member_file list_name
and edit that to remove the good ones or copy/paste the missing bad
ones.
2b) Then try
bin/remove_members --file=bad_member_file list_name
3) You may not be comfortable with this one, but if 2b) doesn't work,
try this:
$ bin/withlist -l listname
Loading list listname (locked)
The variable `m' is the listname MailList instance
>>> fp = open('bad_address_file', 'r')
>>> for address in fp.readlines():
... addr = address.strip()
... try:
... m.removeMember(addr)
... print 'Removed', addr
... except Errors.NotAMemberError:
... print 'Not a member', addr
...
Not a member [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not a member [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Not a member [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>>> m.Save()
>>>
Unlocking (but not saving) list: listname
Finalizing
$
In the above, '$' is a shell prompt; '>>>' and '...' are Python
prompts; other lines are responses from Python. The input to the final
... prompt is a new-line (CR or Enter) and the input to the final >>>
prompt is control-D (Unix end of file). The indentation on the ...
prompted lines is important.
In my case, bad_address_file contained the 3 addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED], none of which were list members.
If you are not happy with what you see at any point, you can just type
the control-D without first entering m.Save() and the list will not be
changed.
