OTOH somebody could adopt the patch (the feature request is 2 years

Why so complicated? Simply use sync_members instead.

And there is the sync_members command which synchronizes the list
membership with the addresses in an input file which is the one step
way to do what is wanted, but these all require command line access.
Ralf's patch mentioned in another reply allows doing sync_members from
the web interface, but of course it requires more than command line
access to install the patch.

There are two commands in the bin directory:

 remove_members --all --nouserack --noadminack $LISTNAME
 add_members -w n -r $FILE $LISTNAME

The first will remove all subscribers in $LISTNAME without any
acknowledgements to the subscribers and administrators.

The second will silently subscribe all of the e-mail addresses in
the $FILE file.

I added a patch which lets you do exactly that.

[Mailman-Users] Change entire user list

2006-12-04 Thread Frank Baillie
Hi;
 
I supervise a Mailman list for a club of RVers which has about 550 members.
 
Once a month I get a new roster to put up on the site, but I don't get
specific changes to email addresses, new members or deleted members.
 
Is there a simple way to unsubscribe the entire current list and mass
subscribe the new list?
 
Thank you.
 
Frank Baillie
