NAME

       clone_member - Clone a Mailman subscriber address

SYNOPSIS

       clone_member [options] fromoldaddr tonewaddr

DESCRIPTION

       Cloning	a  member address means that a new member will be added who has all the same options and passwords as the original member address.
       Note that this operation is fairly trusting of the user who runs it -- it does no verification to the new address, it does not send  out  a
       welcome message, etc.

       The  existing  member's	subscription  is usually not modified in any way.  If you want to remove the old address, use the -r flag.  If you
       also want to change any list admin addresses, use the -a flag.
