This could be done any number of ways. I think the easiest would be to script it. The key here is what sets off the script and where does it get its information.
If you can have the "other" application do a dump of the necessary info into some temp space then you could have a cron job trigger the creation of the list and the addition of users. Even better would be to have the "other" application call the script with the info on the command line. If the "other" application uses a local database, then it would be a snap to setup and run. For help on writing the script you should explore the Mailman command lines that are available in ~mailman/bin/.. Let me know if you need any help (sounds like a fun project) - Jon Carnes On Fri, 2003-02-14 at 13:45, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi there, > > I'd like to integrate mailman with another application running on the > same server.
