I don't know for sure what they sent you, but if it is the contents of
lists/LISTNAME, it has what you need. lists/LISTNAME/config.pck has
everything Mailman knows about that list except for archives. The
problem is you need a working Mailman installation to use it.

You could just run something like

  strings config.pck

and edit the output of that to get email addresses.

You could ask them to send you the output from Mailman's

 bin/list_members -f -p listname
