I would create one list and tweak it via the web interface to get it the way I wanted and then write it's configuration to a file with the bin/config_list Mailman command line tool. Then I would create a shell or similar script to loop over the list names and run the following bin/newlist to create the list bin/config_list to configure it from the file created above, and bin/add_members to import the members from the list's <CR> delimited, ascii email address file. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
