RTFM... use: newlist -o /etc/aliases Or substitute the "newlist" command with your own script: #! /bin/bash # newlst: script to run Mailman's "newlist" command # but automatically put the output into my aliases # file and then run newaliases # For this script to runs "newaliases" you must execute # it as root (or give mailman sudo access to newalaises) ~mailman/bin/newlist -o /etc/aliases $1 $2 $3 newaliases === Here is the help information for the "newlist" command: ~mailman/bin/newlist -h Create a new, unpopulated mailing list. Usage: newlist [options] listname listadmin-addr admin-password Options: -q --quiet Normally the administrator is notified by email (after a prompt) that their list has been created. This option suppresses that notification and the prompting. -o file --output=file Append the alias setting recommendations to file, in addition to printing them to standard output. -h/--help Print this help text and exit. You can specify as many of the arguments as you want on the command line: you will be prompted for the missing ones. Note that listnames are forced to lowercase. === > > Thanks for the insight. > > Johnathon B.
