add_members − Add members to a Mailman mailing list from the command line.
add_members [−r <file>] [−d <file>] [−y <y|n>] [−w <y|n>] [−h] listname
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.
−r file, −−regular-members-file=file
A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one address 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 notification 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.
You must supply at least one of −r and −d options. At most one of the files can be ‘-’.
