If you have command line access, use Mailman's bin/clone_member to
actually change the addresses as that preserves all other member
options and settings.

Run

bin/list_members listname | grep @mmode.com > file

to get a list of addresses to be changed. Edit file to make a list of
commands like

bin/clone_member -r user1 at mmode.com user1 at txt.att.net
bin/clone_member -r user2 at mmode.com user2 at txt.att.net
...

and run it as a shell script.
