1)
thats the same like 'ezmlm-sub /path/to/list <adress.txt' but wastes
more system resources by creating the process environment for cat.
the contents of the textfile go to stdin of ezmlm-sub in both cases and
this is actually what you want. do you have fully qualified email
adresses in your sourcefile? could you please doublecheck your
sourcefile for invalid email adresses?
2)
sounds reasonable. you might try something like
---
cd ~listuserid
mkdir .disabled
mv .qmail-listname* listname .disabled
---
which actually allows you to revive it again or browse the archives if
they exist. to stop servicing the list you could simply rename the
corresponding .qmail-listname* files to let's say .deactivated-listname*
