I'm having a problem with a mailman list...  It's got about 1700 members, all of
whom were added administratively -- and it appears that a lot of them have bogus
or misspelled addresses.

At the moment, if I try to approve a message to go out to the list, nothing
(apparently) happens -- "top" shows me that "python" is churning away, but the
webpage just times out.  I'm guessing this is because of the problem above,
although it could just be that my P133 doesn't have the horsepower to get
through all those names...  The log files are no help whatsoever here.  lsof
seems to indicate that tcp connections are being opened, so it's possible I just
spammed the first n-1 people on the list with this message...

Anyways, my questions are -- is there any way to dump the userlist so I can
start trying to sort the valid addresses from the bad ones?  They appear to be
stored in a hash file, something of which I have only the most tenuous grasp.
Also, is it possible I'm barking up the wrong tree, and that there's something
else going wrong here?
