Then the users can decide what they want to see but only have one subscription to manage. I agree with Mark that announce only makes sense here, based on what you've written. -- Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/

See https://wiki.list.org/x/4030671 bin/newlist will create a list. bin/config_list can be used to set non-default settings. bin/add_members or bin/sync_members can be used to add members.

[Mailman-Users] setting up mailman lists from the command line
I have a currently small number of internet connected sensors and would like to send email messages to list subscribers about interesting measurements. I would like to send readings to only those subscribers who are interested in specific sensors. I've been using Virtualmin to set up the lists but it's getting to be too much work. Is there a way I can set up a mailing list from the command line? I'm thinking I'll script a way for the users to do this. I'd be happy to read instructions if referred. Thanks!
