[Mailman-Users] Is there a Command to extract the lists owners?
I need to email each list owner to let them know the server will be off line while I upgrade it, so I need their email addresses. regards -- Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org

A poor man's way: You just need to know the listname and append -owner to
it, like mailman-users-owner.
./bin/list_lists | grep -v '^[0-9]' | awk '{print $1-owner@$domain}'
Replace $domain with a sane value. If there are several different domains on
this site, then wait for someone else to advise:)

If you add the -m option, you also get all the moderators email addresses also.

It does. Use the -w option. This stuff is really easy to find out about. Just trying running the command with an option of '--help' . If the command doesn't recognise the option it will usually complain and stop working so no damage done there. However if the command (and I'm talking generally about unixy sort of commands, not just Mailman in particular).. If the command does recognise the '--help' option it wil... give you help! The '-h' option is usually good for this as well. If you're really tetchy about supplying unknown options to random binaries then do the operation as a standard or restricted user. Then you minimise the potential for any damage you might do.

[Mailman-Users] Different Domains on Single Mailman Server
Inherited a few mailman servers. I was wanting to know if I can combine them into a single server/instance. My issue is that they are not subdomains they are completely different domain names for example: something.org lists.somethingelse.com lists.different2.com Just wanted to make sure that something like this will work before I proceed.

It will work with standard GNU Mailman in a single instance if all list names are globally unique. If you have need of lists with the same name in different domains, there are some unofficial sets of patches available, or you can run multiple Mailman instances on the one server, but you can expect some minor grief in getting it to work. -- Mark Sapiro m...@msapiro.netThe highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

There are two commands. bin/list_owners has already been mentioned and there is also bin/list_admins for a somewhat different output format. Give either command with the --help option for details.
