[Mailman-Users] rmlist

[Dave Warchol]

Ashley:
             No joy.  Gory details follow.  I agree, bad name for a
list, however,
better to learn that now while in test.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks
Dave

Remove the components of a mailing list with impunity - beware!

This removes (almost) all traces of a mailing list.  By default, the
lists
archives are not removed, which is very handy for retiring old lists.

Usage:
    rmlist [-a] [-h] listname

Where:
    --archives
    -a
        remove the lists archives too

    --help
    -h
        print this help message and exit


List does not exist: "dave\'s list"
[mailman at hclxtstest01 bin]$ list_lists

    Bad name for starters.  Have you tried encapsulating the name?

    rmlist -a "Dave's list"

    And if that fails, try escaping the apostrophe:  rmlist -a "Dave\'s
list"
