[Mailman-Users] How do I send an email to all list admins?
How do I send an email to all list admins? I need to inform all list admins about a change concerning the "advertised" option (basically I want them to opt-in) I could use "bin/list_lists" and process the output by adding "-owner@domain" and make a list out of it -- but is there an easier way? -- Ralf Hildebrandt Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin Geschäftsbereich IT | Abteilung Netzwerk Campus Benjamin Franklin (CBF) Haus I | 1.

I guess you could save them one message by putting your announcement in the welcome message. I think the original idea of the mail...@list.example.net list was to put the admins there. You'd have to do it by hand, and pretty much nobody seems to do that. I don't recall anybody asking for this before, although I'm pretty sure it occasionally comes up. In Mailman 3 we could make a feature of this, but Mailman 2 is EOL, so it won't happen there. I'm not sure this is worth it since you'd need to configure all the options anyway (I'm not sure there are obvious defaults for a lot of them), so getting the list of lists is the least time-consuming part of the task. In Mailman 3, perhaps we could make it easier to get the list of lists (or maybe the site admin can already get it in the top listinfo page).

AFAIK, one by one, or you could make a mailing list for them.
IF you have access to the command-line of the server, this might help
I have a script I wrote (or rather I’m pretty sure I have one of Mark’s scripts
that I modified :-) that gets the name and address of every list on our system
and exports a tab-delimited file with the admin and moderator emails as
separate lists . Something similar could be used to just get all the admins
out into a flat file, then use
./sync_members -w=no -g=no -d=no -a=no -f admins_file admins_list
to routinely generate the list and resynch it via cron, so you don’t have to
worry about manually keeping it up to date.
#!/usr/bin/env python
'''
List info for internal links page
'''
import os
import time
DEBUG = 0
#print "List,Description,Owner(s),Moderator(s)"
def list_lister(mlist):
last = time.strftime('%m-%d-%Y',time.localtime(mlist.last_post_time))
owner = ''
out = open('./listoflists', 'a')
try:
if len(mlist.owner)>1:
owner = ';'.join(mlist.owner)
else:
owner = mlist.owner[0]
except IndexError:
owner = 'none'
moderator=''
try:
if len(mlist.moderator)>1:
moderator = ';'.join(mlist.moderator)
else:
moderator = mlist.moderator[0]
except IndexError:
moderator = 'none'
out.write( mlist.real_name + "\t" + mlist.description + "\t" + owner + "\t" +
moderator + "\t" + last + "\n")
out.close()
print "processed %s" % (mlist.real_name)
return
(I use this script to provide the data for an easy-to-use web tool for our
admins and moderators to access to do the parts they manage. Many of our lists
membership management is done entirely outside of Mailman, leveraging our
student data, campus LDAP, our own Active directory to manage ~60 lists that
keeps up with people coming, going, changing departments, email addresses etc. )

Interesting ... so this *is* a common need, I guess I haven't heard about it either due to inattention or perhaps it's just that people with a site of such scale have the chops to go straight to bin/withlist. I'm still not sure this is needed/a good idea, but I created a wishlist issue for it. Comments welcome, especially on the default configuration details for these lists. Eg should list admins be allowed to post, how about moderators? or should it be pure announce for the site admin? I think it should be archived, any problems with that? How are these related to the mailman@site list? https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/-/issues/1007 Steve -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/
