1. Has anyone written a custom version of the list_members script which exports list members in a format compatible with Groups.IO's direct add feature? In short, Groups.IO allows you to add "digest" or "nomail" after an Email address to pre-select that delivery option for that member. I'd love a way to have that work automatically done.


I don't know that anyone has done it, but it should be easy enough for anyone with basic Python and Mailman knowledge. However, you don't need to do that. You can make separate membership lists with list_members. E.g.,

list_members -r ...

to list regular members

list_members -d ...

to list digest members

list_members -n ...

to list members with delivery disabled

Then you can edit those lists to append the `digest` or `nomail` argument as appropriate.

2. Is there any way within Mailman to send what Groups.IO would call a "Special Notice?" That is, a message which will go to all members immediately, even those on digest or nomail? I'm going to want an easy way to announce the impending move in such a way that every member will receive the message immediately.

If you add a header

Urgent: <password>

to the message where <password> is the list's Admin, Moderator or Poster poassword. The message will be sent to all members regardless of digest or nomail status. The header will be removed from the outgoing message.
