Howto: mailman subscriber list export

July 9th, 2007

I have scoured the web for an answer. Alas I have found it, but I have lost the URL :(

Luckily I am able to pick it from the history, if have mailman installed uner /usr/local/mailman, yours might differ.

There you’ll find all the files relating to mailman, the one of importance here is “list_members” which can be found under the bin directory.

eg: /usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members

That is the file that will export the list of members from mailman. To get the list run, ‘/usr/local/mailman/lists’
this will give a list of mailman lists currently on the system.

Then all you need is to run the following command,

‘/usr/local/mailman/bin/list_members listname > “textfile” ‘

make the textfile of your choice, that should print it all into a text file for you.
