Hello All,
I have an OSX Panther server that has been superseded by a Tiger server. I would like to move a mailing list - specifically the people who have signed up on the mailing list - to the new server. The graphical interface doesn't let me copy any of the names.

Use mailman's commandline tools:

/usr/share/mailman/bin/list_members

and
/usr/share/mailman/bin/sync_members

sync_members will delete members not in the input stream too, so this may not be what you want to use, add_members may be more appropriate, especially if you already have valid members (like list admins) on the list already.

True, but add_members is broken on OS X(1) and cannot cope with input in the "Long format" ie with realnames as well as addresses. The OP will have to decide on the best strategy after reading the appropriate man pages :)

Cheers,

-geoff
