[Mailman-Developers] Accessing the members of a list

[Simon Hanna]

I just realized I didn't reply to the list but to the OP only. Here is my reply:

It's because the request is not recorded in the mentioned yaml file.
In order to record tapes, you will have to have a running mailman instance. The config file for
mailman can be found in the testing directory of postorius.
1. Make sure you have an empty mailman database (just remove everything that mailman creates ^^).
2. You will want to delete the yaml file you want to overwrite.
3. run `tox -e record` in postorius.

Repeat steps 1-3 as long as you get errors (you will have to fix the errors of course)

4. confirm that everything works by running `tox`

commit the yaml file you wanted to overwrite.

Sidenote: You might not have to rerecord the yaml file over and over if you are only fixing things
that don't result in new/changed requests.
