[Mailman-Users] amending (you can do this) someone's email address

2001-01-12 Thread Christopher VanOosterhout 


In fact, Mailman does include a function to do this. You can use
the command line clone_member command and not only change for a specific
list but for all lists hosted by a particular Mailman program.

list
 using their new address?

As far as I know, you can't amend the address as such - you need to
unsubscribe the 'old' address and then resubscribe them using the
new
address (or you could tell them to do the same using their
subscription
page).

Well, sorta.  clone_member means you end up with user 'b' who has the same attributes
as user 'a', but it doesn't get rid of user 'a'.  clone_member followed by a 
remove_members
might be pretty painless, though; nice find.
