Your posts in December lead me to assume that your Mailman installation is hosted by a provider and you only have access to it via email and the web. If this is the case, here are your choices: - Use the email 'who' command. Send blank email with subject 'help' (without the quotes) to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] address for more info. - Visit the roster via the listinfo page or directly at something like <http://www.example.com/mailman/roster/listname> and copy/paste/edit the result. The above two methods have the drawback that 'hidden' members (those who have opted to be excluded from those lists) are not shown. - Visit the admin Membership Management...->Membership List pages one by one and copy/paste/edit the results. - Script the above process to automate it. See <http://starship.python.net/crew/jwt/mailman/#throughtheweb> for an example. >Also, why doesn't mailman have this feature built in? It seems that this >would be a normal thing to want to do from time to time for backup purposes. It does, but it is only available through the command-line tool bin/list_members to which you apparently don't have access. Such a feature may be added to the web and/or email interface in the future as there appears to be a need for it. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
