You could write a script that returns further instructions on how to subscribe to each list (and informing folks of the upgrade to Mailman).
majordomo: | /usr/local/mailman/md-reply.sh #! /bin/bash ### md-reply.sh - a script to reply to old majordomo requests TO=`grep "From:" - |head -1 |cut -f2- -d: ` cat /usr/local/mailman/md-reply.txt |mail -s "Mailing List Help" $TO You could expand the script to actually look for the "subscribe" command and then attempt to subscribe the user... BTW: you might want to use a procmail script instead, but this is a good base for a lot of other mail oriented command sequences that you may want to play with (in the future).
