Mailman email lists: how to back up your membership list
Posted by: Elaine The TechDonkey in Techy TidbitsSend the following command as the body of an email to your LIST REQUEST ADDRESS to see everyone who is on your mailing list. The roster is limited to list members only, and you must supply your admin password to retrieve it.
Your list request address (found in your listmail headers) is typically
yourlistname-request@yourdomainname.com
The simplest format would be to send from your admin address without brackets or modifiers; if your password is banana, simply send one line reading:
who banana
This won’t preserve your other settings, but it’s a great start when you’re trying to reconstitute a list!
