[Mailman-Users] How do I delete all members from a list in 2.0.13?

[Jon Carnes]

Dude - why don't you create *another* list, and test your scripts on
that.  That's the way I do it.

If you are really hot to do it to your live list, then copy the
config.pck file to a backup directory and use the
~mailman/bin/sync_members command to dump one and all except for you.
Once you are done, copy the original config.pck back into place, and
everything is back to normal.

Good Luck - Jon Carnes
