Interesting problem! I would tackle this by: - renaming the newlist command to something like orig.newlist and then - writing a script that collects the data necessary for newlist, - feed that data into orig.newlist, - capture the output, and then - run the "imsimta" command for each of the necessary lines.
Basically do just what you said, write a wrapper around the newlist command.
