Worked like a charm.

+1 I've used ~mailman/bin/sync_members in several scripts for a few years now. It works great! And you can turn off the notices so folks don't know that you are mucking about with the list membership.

I by myself had not used it till now, but the description sounds good: - Synchronize a mailing list's membership with a flat file. This script is useful if you have a Mailman mailing list and a sendmail :include: style list of addresses (also as is used in Majordomo). For every address in the file that does not appear in the mailing list, the address is added. For every address in the mailing list that does not appear in the file, the address is removed. Other options control what happens when an address is added or removed. - greetings Sebastian -- Mailman-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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/ This message was sent to: archive@jab.org Unsubscribe or change your options at http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org
