NAME
       clone_member - Clone a Mailman mailing list 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.

OPTIONS
       -l listname, --listname=listname
	      Check and modify only the named mailing lists.  If -l is not given, then all mailing lists are scanned from the  address.   Multiple
	      -l options can be supplied.

       -r, --remove
	      Remove the old address from the mailing list after it's been cloned.

       -a, --admin
	      Scan the list admin addresses for the old address, and clone or change them too.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do the modifications quietly.

       -n, --nomodify
	      Print what would be done, but don't actually do it.  Inhibits the 0

       fromoldaddr (`from old address') is the old address of the user.  tonewaddr (`to new address') is the new address of the user.
