ADD_MEMBERS(8) System Manager's Manual ADD_MEMBERS(8)
NAME
add_members - Add members to a Mailman mailing list from the command
line.
SYNOPSIS
add_members [-r <file>] [-d <file>] [-y <y|n>] [-w <y|n>] [-h] listname
DESCRIPTION
Add members from a file to a mailman list. Listname is the name of the
Mailman list you are adding members to. It must already exist.
OPTIONS
-r file, --regular-members-file=file
A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one ad-
dress per line. This list of people become non-digest members.
If file is `-', read addresses from stdin. Note that -n/--non-
digest-members-file are deprecated synonyms for this option.
-d file, --digest-members-file=file
Similar to above, but these people become digest members.
-a [y|n], --admin-notify=[y|n]
Set whether or not to send the list administrators a notifica-
tion on the success/failure of these subscriptions, overriding
whatever the list's `admin_notify_mchanges' setting is.
-w [y|n], --welcome-msg=[y|n]
Set whether or not to send the list members a welcome message,
overriding whatever the list's `send_welcome_msg' setting is.
-h, --help
Print a help message and exit.
NOTES
You must supply at least one of -r and -d options. At most one of the
files can be `-'.
