Here's the basic outline: Extract a list of member email addresses. /usr/local/mailman/bin/sync_members -g=no -w=no -d=no -a=no -f file_of_email_addresses list_name_here The list is set up so confirmation of subscription is required (and we never confirm when someone tries). We run this process at the top of every hour. Users subscribe/unsubscribe through our member services profiler, not through he list itself. - -- Steve -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHLldpeERILVgMyvARAk1yAJ9zSkdAnh+5yHcO8C2KoEuCM/mtgQCeMq6M KewzwVXddD6LQh/NtvhXoG4= =nVUV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
