Re: [Mailman-Users] Mass Subscribe options

Make two files, one containing the regular (non-digest) members and the other containing the digest members. These files contain one member per line in a format like: Joe Cool jc...@example.com (see http://wiki.list.org/x/YoA9 for other formatting options). Then, from the command line bin/add_members -r regular_file -d digest_file -w y -a n listname See bin/add_members --help for a description of the options. You can also do this from the web admin mass subscribe page, but it isn't recommended because it's more cumbersome and with tens of thousands of members, will probably time out. To do it, first set Digest options - digest_is_default to Digest and upload your digest file to the Membership Management... - Mass Subscription page; then set Digest options - digest_is_default to Regular and upload your regular file to the Membership Management... - Mass Subscription page. Does it make any sense to create two new lists (one digest-only, one non-digest-only) and import the members into two new lists?

You can find the patch by searching the archives of the list. On Tue, 2002-11-12 at 16:29, David Moore wrote: Need some help here... I've scanned the FAQ and havn't found a clear (to me) answer yet - What I am wanting to do is use the List administrator's Mass Subscribe Members under Member Management (web interface) and specify not only the users email but the users initial password. For example - under mass subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [PASSWORD] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [PASSWORD] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [PASSWORD] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [PASSWORD] etc where in all four cases the password for that user is password or whatever text is assigned as the persons INITIAL password - if they want to change it later that is fine but specifying the INITIAL password. I'm trying to set up the initial list(s) (apx 300-400 users each) without the users having to confirm - otherwise I can use the email interface and subscribe them with password using the syntax: subscribe PASSWORD address=EMAIL@ADDRESS, but then each one must confirm their own subscription... Any ideas? - Again I am only a LIST/domain admin and not Mailman/server admin ... If I'm looking at my site specs right we are on Mailman version 2.0.13. Thanks in advance.
