Depends. If you have no digest members, full names, subscribers who get
no mail (check by comparing list_members -r, list_members -f,
list_members -n) or can you ignore that stuff and do not care about
preserving passwords etc then I would try something like this:

#make a backup first
list_members listname | grep @ > /tmp/adresses
remove_members -N -f /tmp/adresses 
# edit /tmp/adresses and replace @ by @
add_members -r /tmp/adresses

If this is not what you need then clone_member is probably the tool you
need. But I never tried this myself. Start again with 

#make a backup first
list_members listname | grep @ > /tmp/adresses
# edit /tmp/adresses  so that every line of the form
# name@ 
# is changed to
# clone_member -r name@ name@
# in vim I would try something like :%s/\(.*\)@/clone_member -r \1@  
\1@/
sh /tmp/adresses

If all else fails, tell the teacher that its a good exercise
in computer science for the pupils if they change their address
themselves (Probably switch on monthly reminders). :-)

I did this once. There may be a simple way in Mailman, with the withlist
function in (for me) /usr/lib/mailman/bin. But I did not want to risk that,
so I just did the simple thing.

./list_members LISTNAME | grep  > tmp1
(or try @, which may be better)
then I edit tmp1 (with emacs, for example, changing @ to @
I save this as tmp2
Then I go to the Membership Management section of the list administration page
and enter tmp1 into "Mass removal" and remove them
then enter tmp2 into "Mass subscription" and subscribe them.
The reason I use the web interface is that I can control who gets notified
of what. You can alternatively use the functions add_members and
remove_members, but I wasn't sure who they would notify. (Perhaps nobody,
which would be ideal.)

To get help files for these functions, just run the function with no
arguments, e.g., ./add_members, assuming that your working directory is
/usr/lib/mailman/bin

See the script at https://www.msapiro.net/scripts/change_member_address.py

The method suggested by Jon Baron[1] will work but will resubscribe the 
user's new addresses with default settings.


The method suggested by Juergen Dollinger[2] is better but (to me at 
least) more complex that the above script.
