Sympa List Service - Viewing the membership of a list

NOTE: Depending on the configuration of the list, this function may be restricted to listowners only.

This can be done in one of two ways :

  • by sending an email command to the list server
  • by using the web interface

Using an e-mail command

To request a listing of all members of a list, send an e-mail to the address sympa@newcastle.ac.uk containing the commands :

REVIEW listname
STOP

where listname is, of course, the name of the list you wish to review the membership of. The server should return a list of email addresses of the list's members.

Using the web interface

To view the members of a list :

  • Log in to https://lists.ncl.ac.uk/
  • Select the list in question from the Your Lists menu on the left...(as listowner, you should see a red Admin button to the left of the list's name - click this button ) :
  • The List Operations menu will appear on the left hand side - select Review members :
  • You should then be able to see the list of members on screen:
  • If you are a listowner, you can request a flat-text (i.e. machine-readable) version of this by clicking the Dump button near the top of the page. This should return an unformatted list of addresses that can be easily cut and pasted elsewhere.
