Can I export the signup files to something like excel, change those I want from  [log in to unmask] to [log in to unmask] and then re-save as a signup file?

It is seldom a good idea to attempt to manually edit LISTSERV system files.

I assume that you already know that changing subscribers' addresses in the signup* files
will not change the subscribers' addresses on the lists to which the old addresses are
subscribed; it will simply ensure that the names currently associated with the old
addresses will be associated with the new addresses.  There is a less hazardous way to
achieve this goal: submit a batch job with a 'quiet register' command for each of the new
addresses.  Preface this series of commands with 'ok begin' and end it with 'ok end', so
you receive only one command confirmation request, rather than one for each command.

--- begin example ---
ok begin
quiet register [log in to unmask] First User
quiet register [log in to unmask] Second User
...
quiet register [log in to unmask] Last User
ok end
