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

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.

NAME

       config_list - Configure a Mailman mailing list from a text file description

SYNOPSIS

       config_list [options] listname

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a very powerful script which lets you view and modify a list's configuration variables from the command line.	E.g.  you can dump
       out all the list options into a plain text file (actually a valid Python file!), complete with comments explaining each variable.   Or  you
       can apply the configuration from such a file to a particular list.

OPTIONS

       -i filename, --inputfile=filename
	      Configure  the  list  by assigning each module-global variable in the file to an attribute on the list object, then saving the list.
	      The named file is loaded with execfile() and must be legal Python code.  Any variable that isn't already an attribute  of  the  list
	      object is ignored (a warning message is printed).  See also the -c option.

	      A  special  variable  named `mlist' is put into the globals during the execfile, which is bound to the actual MailList object.  This
	      lets you do all manner of bizarre thing to the list object, but BEWARE!  Using this can severely (and possibly  irreparably)  damage
	      your mailing list!

       -o filename, --outputfile=filename
	      Instead  of  configuring	the list, print out a list's configuration variables in a format suitable for input using this script.	In
	      this way, you can easily capture the configuration settings for a particular list and imprint those settings on another list.  file-
	      name is the file to output the settings to.  If filename is `-', standard out is used.

       -c, --checkonly
	      The modified list is not actually changed.  Only useful with -i.

       -v, --verbose
	      Print the name of each attribute as it is being changed.	Only useful with -i.

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

NOTES

       The options -o and -i are mutually exclusive.
