Exporting Your Subscriber List

Steps to Export Your Subscriber List

  1. Visit the "general list information page" for your list.
  2. Generic URL is:
    http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/LISTNAME
    Note: Replace LISTNAME with the name of your list.
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page, to the "LISTNAME Subscribers" section. Enter the list administrator's email address and the list password, then click the "Visit Subscriber List" button.
    Note: If you do not know your admin password, send us an email at dasit.servicedesk@support.das.oregon.gov requesting a reset.
  4. The resulting page will show you all of the members of the mailing list.
  5. If you need to actually copy the addresses, but they're shown with the word "at" instead of a normal @ sign, you can change that.
  • Go back to the Mailman administration pages
  • Click Privacy Options and scroll to the bottom of the page
  • Change "Show member addresses so they're not directly recognizable as email addresses?" to No.

You can copy & paste the resulting page into an Excel spreadsheet.

Note: You may see two columns, non-digested & digested. The latter just means these subscribers chose to receive messages in a digest or a batch, as opposed to individual messages.

If you have any questions please contact us at: dasit.servicedesk@support.das.oregon.gov, 503-378-2135
