NAME

       add_members - Add members to a Mailman mailing list from the command line.

SYNOPSIS

       add_members [-r <file>] [-d <file>] [-y <y|n>] [-w <y|n>] [-h] listname

DESCRIPTION

       Add members from a file to a mailman list. Listname is the name of the Mailman list you are adding members to.  It must already exist.

OPTIONS

       -r file, --regular-members-file=file

	      A  file  containing  addresses of the members to be added, one address per line.	This list of people become non-digest members.	If
	      file is `-', read addresses from stdin. Note that -n/--non-digest-members-file are deprecated synonyms for this option.

       -d file, --digest-members-file=file

	      Similar to above, but these people become digest members.

       -a [y|n], --admin-notify=[y|n]

	      Set whether or not to send the list administrators a notification on the success/failure of these subscriptions, overriding whatever
	      the list's `admin_notify_mchanges' setting is.

       -w [y|n], --welcome-msg=[y|n]

	      Set whether or not to send the list members a welcome message, overriding whatever the list's `send_welcome_msg' setting is.

       -h, --help

	      Print a help message and exit.

NOTES

       You must supply at least one of -r and -d options.  At most one of the files can be `-'.
