Question: I am a Mailman list owner and would like to view the names and email addresses of all of my subscribers. Mailman will show them to me on a Web page but the list is broken up alphabetically on separate pages. Can I get a complete list via email?
Answer:
Mailman will send you a list of subscribers via email if your subscribers are not hidden. To request a list via email, first set a moderator password in the Passwords section of the admin pages at
http://mailman.u.washington.edu/mailman/admin/listnamewhere "listname" is replaced with the name of the list.
Then send the following command to listname-request@mailman.u.washington.edu (again where "listname" is replaced with the name of the list):
who password(where "password" is the moderator password for the list).
Please note that you may have to change the private_roster setting under the Privacy Options > Subscription Rules section of the admin pages. If the private_roster setting is set to "List members," you must be subscribed to the list for these instructions to work. If you are an owner but not a subscriber, the private_roster setting needs to be set to "List admin only" or "Anyone." (If set to "Anyone," do not include the password in the "who" command.)
