# find\_member(8)

## NAME

find\_member - Find all Mailman mailing lists that a member's address is on

## SYNOPSIS

find\_member \[options\] regex \[regex \[...\]\]

## OPTIONS

- **-l** *listname,* **--listname=***listname*

  *Include only the named list in the search.*

- **-x** *listname,* **--exclude=***listname*

  *Exclude the named list from the search.*

- **-w, --owners**

  **Search list owners as well as members.**

- **-o** *file,* **--output=***file*

## NOTES

**The interaction between -l and -x is as follows.  If any -l option is given** **then only the named list will be included in the search.  If any -x option is** **given but no -l option is given, then all lists will be search except those** **specifically excluded.**

**Regular expression syntax is Perl5-like, using the Python re module.  Complete** **specifications are at:**

**http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-re.html**

**Address matches are case-insensitive, but case-preserved addresses are** **displayed.**
