[Mailman-Users] can't display list config

[Frank Van Damme]

Hi list,

I'm getting errors while trying to dump the config of a mailing list to
a text file.


/usr/lib/mailman/bin/config_list -o listname listname

[...]

# For backwards compatibility with Mailman 1.1, if the regexp does not
# contain an `@', then the pattern is matched against just the local
# part of the recipient address.  If that match fails, or if the pattern
# does contain an `@', then the pattern is matched against the entire
# recipient address.
#
# Matching against the local part is deprecated; in a future release,
# the pattern will always be matched against the entire recipient
# address.

I must add to this that we have a very large number (24000+) of mailing
lists.  I'm not sure if that matters, but we've had problems with the
webinterface, which doesn't display the full list of mailing lists.
list_lists works fine though, and it also doesn't seem to matter if I
try this with a list from the top or from the bottom of the "list of lists".

I'd try to fix this myself but unfortunately I don't speak Python...
