The output from bin/list_members is in two groups: first the regular members in alpha order followed by the digest members in alpha order. Possibly the <s...> addrs is the only digest member or possibly there is a transparent character preceeding the 's'. >Also, the gui >claims there are 326 members on the list, but list_members gives me 328. What MM version is this? Prior to 2.1.12rc1 there was a bug that would not list members in the admin Membership List if their address began with a non letter/digit. >The member that didn't show up on the list_members list (but was actually >subscribed) showed up as just an ordinary list member on the GUI >membership list [no "nomail" or anything like that].

If there are addresses that appear on bin/list_members and not on the list admin Membership List (not explained by the above bug) and vice versa, I think there must be two lists. E.g., perhaps a test, demo, backup or prior version of the list on a different server or in a different path on the same server, and you are accessing one via the web and another via bin/list_members. Check your web server configuration and ensure that Mailman's ScriptAlias points to the same prefix directory that contains the bin/ directory you're using. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
