Don't know if this quite meets your requirements, but you can do $PREFIX/add_members -r somefile listname (use - as the filename if you want to pass in addresses via stdin instead of by giving it a filename). It will spit out an error if you try to add an address that already exists. This might work for you, but wouldn't deal with removing members too. use "-w n" to not send a welcome message. Maybe you could do something like: $PREFIX/remove_members --all --nouserack --noadminack $PREFIX/add_members -w n -r somefile listname w ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
