Hello to all:

I've studied the following:

https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/commands/do...

mailman shell -l mmlist.domain.ca << EOF | tr , '\012' > nonmember.txt
list(m.nonmembers.members)
EOF

I was able to produce a clean list of 50 non-member email addresses that are spammers.

How would I take this list of non-members and delete them? I was unable to use mailman delmembers

Assuming you want to delete all the nonmembers, just do it all in mailman shell. Using the above

mailman shell -l mmlist.domain.ca << EOF
for member in m.nonmembers.members:
     member.unsubscribe()

EOF

If your 50 addresses are not all the nonmembers and you only want to delete those 50, the bash script could be

mailman shell -l mmlist.domain.ca << EOF
for addr in open('nonmember.txt').readlines()
     member = m.nonmembers.get_member(addr.strip())
     member.unsubscribe()

EOF
