How do I see who is on a mailing list

If you are a member of the workgroup whose list you are interested in,
simply go to that group's "mail" page,
http://www.gigascale.org/workgroup/listinfo,
(or navigate there via the navigation menus),
click on the name of the list in question, then click on
"(Show member list)".
(You must be a logged-in member of the group.
This protects
members from having their addresses harvested from our site by spammers.)
You may also want to try the "overview" page for a workgroup, which will list all the members of that group.
Try http://www.gigascale.org/workgroup/overview
If you are the adminstrator of a group, you can
use the mailman interface on the
http://www.gigascale.org/workgroup/admin page
to view, add and remove members of a mail list.
There's the "mconnect" command that will show you aliases that are
handled by the mail server, using the "expn" command from within mconnect:
% mconnect eecs.berkeley.edu
connecting to host eecs.berkeley.edu (169.229.60.28), port 25
connection open
220 EECS.Berkeley.EDU ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.10/8.9.3; Wed, 15 Oct 2003
10:45:43 -0700 (PDT). Unsolicited electronic mail advertisements
strictly prohibited, subject to fine under CA law CBPC 17538.45. This
electronic mail service provider's equipment is located in the State of
California.
expn listname
250 2.1.5 <listname@ic.EECS.Berkeley.EDU>
quit
% mconnect ic.eecs.berkeley.edu
connecting to host ic.eecs.berkeley.edu (128.32.48.202), port 25
connection open
220 ic.EECS.Berkeley.EDU ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.9/8.12.9; Wed, 15 Oct 2003
10:47:33 -0700 (PDT). Unsolicited electronic mail advertisements
strictly prohibited, subject to fine under CA law CBPC 17538.45. This
electronic mail service provider's equipment is located in the State of
California.
expn listname
250-2.1.5 <bar@EECS.Berkeley.EDU>
250-2.1.5 <bif@EECS.Berkeley.EDU>
If the alias is one of the mail lists that's handled by Mailman on
gigascale, you'll get a result like this:
% mconnect gigascale.org
connecting to host gigascale.org (128.32.32.199), port 25
connection open
220-InterScan Version 3.8-Build_1080 $Date: 01/31/2003 16:12:0037$: Ready
220 gigascale.org ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8p1/8.12.6; Wed, 15 Oct 2003
10:50:27 -0700 (PDT)
expn listname@gigascale.org
250 2.1.5 <"|/home/mailman/mail/truncating_wrapper post listname">
In that case, you have to either check the membership of the workgroup
on the Gigascale website (from the "overview" link for that workgroup),
or use the shell command on gigascale:
% /home/mailman/bin/list_members list_name
... that is, if the workgroup is on the Gigascale website.
If it's on the Chess website, the command is:
% /home/mailman_2/bin/list_members list_name
and if it's on the Embedded website, the command is:
% /home/mailman_3/bin/list_members list_name
