I've tried using the command 'mailman members --role administrator LISTSPEC' whilst looping through each list from the output of 'mailman lists'. It almost does the job, but in cases where an owner has a display name set the sync fails as it cannot parse these lines.
e.g. Cannot parse as valid email address (skipping): Smith, John <john.smith@example.com>
The issue here is when the display name contains a comma or other special character, it should be quoted as in "Smith, John" <john.smith@example.com> to be parsed as an email address/display name. The absence of quotes in the output of `mailman members` is not really a bug as that output is intended only for humans, but you could apply this patch to provide them. ``` --- a/src/mailman/commands/cli_members.py +++ b/src/mailman/commands/cli_members.py @@ -112,7 +112,7 @@ if email_only or not dn: print(address.original_email, file=outfp) else: - print(f'{dn} <{address.original_email}>', + print(f'"{dn}" <{address.original_email}>', file=outfp) ``` Otherwise, you could supply the -e/--email-only option to `mailman members` to not include the display names in the output. -- Mark Sapiro <mark@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
