Here is the shell script that I use for this. I have put the script in
/etc/cron.hourly/ so that it runs each hour. That might be over-kill - once
a day would probably work. I call it "list-create":
#!/bin/sh
# 06/15/2010 - Scott Hughes <[email protected]>
# Initial creation of script to create an import text file of all
# users on system and then import it into an already created
# ezmlm mailing list.
echo "All user mailing list generation..."
# Generate mailing list import file
#/home/vpopmail/bin/vpopbull -n -V > ~/alluserslist.txt
# Import List into ezmlm mailing list
~vpopmail/bin/vpopbull -n -V | ezmlm-sub ~vpopmail/domains/<domain
name here>/<mailing list name here$>
exit 0
I haven't found a way (yet) to delete the mailing list.
Thanks,
Scott

Why can't you have your script "Rebuild" the mailing list everytime it runs.
That way, it adds new accounts and purges old ones..??? There's got to be a
way to delete all of the address on the list, and then you can use your
script to repopulate it.

Eric,
I looked at and tried the 'built-in' function and it was horrible. It didn't
work correctly at all. I cannot currently find any documentation on it
(looking in the wiki). If you (or anyone) happens to know the name and
location of said function, I'll gladly take a look at it.
Thanks,
Scott

There's a function built in to send an email to everyone in a domain. I
don't know how well that works or not though.
I think I'd look at modifying that capability to do it for all domains
on the server. That way you shouldn't need to mess with ezmlm or
subscriptions.
