NEWLIST(8)						      System Manager's Manual							NEWLIST(8)

NAME

       newlist - Create a new, unpopulated mailing list.

SYNOPSIS

       newlist [options] listname listadmin-addr admin-password

OPTIONS

       -l language, --language language
	      Make the list's preferred language `language', which must be a two letter language code.

       -q, --quiet
	      Normally	the  administrator  is	notified  by email (after a prompt) that their list has been created.  This option suppresses that
	      notification and the prompting.

       -h, --help
	      Print a small help text and exit

SECURITY

       Including the admin-password on the command line is a small security risk if you have untrusted users on the system.

NOTES

       You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the command line: you will be prompted for the missing ones.

       Listnames are forced to lowercase.

NAME

       sync_members - Synchronize a mailing list's membership with a flat file.

SYNOPSIS

       sync_members [options] -f file listname

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  is useful if you have a Mailman mailing list and a sendmail :include: style list of addresses (also as is used in Majordomo).
       For every address in the file that does not appear in the mailing list, the address is added.  For every address in the mailing	list  that
       does not appear in the file, the address is removed.  Other options control what happens when an address is added or removed.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-change
	      Don't actually make the changes.	Instead, print out what would be done to the list.

       -w={ yes | no }, --welcome-msg={ yes | no }
	      Sets whether or not to send the newly added members a welcome message, overriding whatever the list's `send_welcome_msg' setting is.
	      With -w=yes or -w, the welcome message is sent.  With -w=no, no message is sent.

       -d={ yes | no }, --digest={ yes | no }
	      Selects whether to make newly added members receive messages in digests.	With -d=yes or -d, they become digest members.	With -d=no
	      (or if no -d option given) they are added as regular members.

       -a={ yes | no }, --notifyadmin={ yes | no }
	      Specifies  whether  the  admin should be notified for each subscription or unsubscription.  If you're adding a lot of addresses, you
	      definitely want to turn this off!  With -a=yes or -a, the admin is notified.  With -a=no, the admin is not  notified.   With  no	-a
	      option, the default for the list is used.

       -f=filename, --file=filename
	      This option is required.	It specifies the flat file to synchronize against.  Email addresses must appear one per line.  If filename
	      is `-' then stdin is used.

       -h, --help
	      Print a small help text and exit

       listname specifies the list to synchronize.
