=============

More of a place to start, than a solution: look in /etc/group at the group site-adm, that contains all the administrators on the RaQ (I'm going by what I see on my RaQ3).  Then look at the site1...n groups, they contain the users of each site.

If may be possible, with some good scripting, to cross-reference those sets of groups to get the site admin for each site.  Then it is a matter of cross-referencing site1 to www.this-site.com, and site2 to www.that-site.com, etc.  

Pull it all together and you could actually wind up with theadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good luck.
