NAME
clone_member - Clone a Mailman mailing list subscriber address
SYNOPSIS
clone_member [options] fromoldaddr tonewaddr
DESCRIPTION
Cloning a member address means that a new member will be added who has
all the same options and passwords as the original member address.
Note that this operation is fairly trusting of the user who runs it --
it does no verification to the new address, it does not send out a wel-
come message, etc.
The existing member's subscription is usually not modified in any way.
If you want to remove the old address, use the -r flag. If you also
want to change any list admin addresses, use the -a flag.
OPTIONS
-l listname, --listname=listname
Check and modify only the named mailing lists. If -l is not
given, then all mailing lists are scanned from the address.
Multiple -l options can be supplied.
-r, --remove
Remove the old address from the mailing list after it's been
cloned.
-a, --admin
Scan the list admin addresses for the old address, and clone or
change them too.
-q, --quiet
Do the modifications quietly.
-n, --nomodify
Print what would be done, but don't actually do it. Inhibits
the 0
fromoldaddr (`from old address') is the old address of the user.
tonewaddr (`to new address') is the new address of the user.
