Ive come up with my own little function.. its not ideal but certainly
does the job - no hiccups so far with it...
basically i have a script called unsubuser, it prompts you for the
username of the person you wish to unsub from lists, the it calls this
function i wrote, displays the lists that person is subscribed to, and
if its ok, press enter to begin the removal...
unsubscribe () (
cd /var/lib/mailman/lists/
#This will search for instances of the username in the available lists
and chomp the output to a file that contains just the listnames
grep $USERNAME * -R | sed -e s"/\// /g" | grep Binary | awk
'{print $3}' | sort -u > /tmp/sub
echo "This will remove $USERNAME from these lists: "
cat /tmp/sub
echo "Press ENTER to continue (no going back) or Control-C to quit"
read -e
#This unsubs the users from the lists in the file
for d in `cat /tmp/sub` ; do echo "$USERNAME"@domain.com |
remove_members -f - $d ; echo "Removing subscription from $d" ; done
)
The only flaw i see with it, is the listadmins email address is in each
of the lists, but not necessarily a member of them.. so when you go to
remove a person who is also a list admin it shows all the lists... but
the function still works...
I would like to see a more sane way of unsubbing a person from all lists
easier though...
Cheers
