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

-n file, --non-digest-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. -d file, --digest-members-file file Similar to above, but these people become digest members. -c [y|n], --changes-msg [y|n] Whether or not to send the list members the `there's going to be big changes to your list' message. defaults to no. -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 -n and -d options. At most one of the files can be `-'. AUTHOR

SYNC_MEMBERS(8) System Manager's Manual SYNC_MEMBERS(8) NAME
sync_members - Synchronize a Mailman 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. -g={ yes | no }, --goodbye-msg={ yes | no } Sets whether or not to send the goodbye message to removed members, overriding whatever the list's `send_goodbye_msg' setting is. With -g=yes or -g, the goodbye message is sent. With -g=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. AUTHOR
