Would this email command to your admin server give you the kind of file you need?

The organization that uses this simply posts mail to it, they are not involved in maintenance or anything.   Now they would like to use the addresses (remember, all cleaned up) for additional purposes.  The list has between 45-50K addresses, so using the web interface to obtain a CSV of subscribers is not possible.  A "GET <listname> (NOH" would work, but they would need to be able to convert the resulting file (well, email) to something they could use.  AFIK, they would have no one who could do this.  Someone (me) has to find a way to do this, given that any script I develop (Perl?  Powershell, SAS, Fortran???  I dunno) has to be used by them (the feared "command line"?).  I have considered scp'ing the subscriber lists to some secure site, but they would have to download it, and this will have to be handled by a cron job as they will expect it whenever they need it.  The listserver is a Linux box, and I assume they are using Windows or Macs, though for all I know they want to do it all on an Android.
