If you can produce a one-per-line text listing of all the email addresses
that need to be subscribed, e.g.:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[...et cetera...]
then you could do this from a simple command line. Take a look at the
$prefix/bin/add_members command, with options similar to these:
$prefix/bin/add_members --regular-members-file=<file> \
--welcome-msg=n --admin-notify=n <listname>
(Run add_members with "--help" to get a full syntax help display.)
I haven't tested this on my system, but according to the documentation this
should subscribe the people listed in the file, with no confirmation messages.
Try it on a short list of just a couple of users first, to make sure it
behaves as you wish it to.
