We tried encrypted lists some years ago. Have a look at http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/mailman-pgp-smime/ The idea is that there is a key for the list, the server decrypts the E-mails and encrypts it for the recipients who have supplied a key. Worked fine with that old version of Mailman 20 years ago. But even in our quite nerdy environment only about the half of the subscribers submitted a key for the list. (excuses are like 'I want to use grep(1) for fulltext search in my list E-mails') So after the next mailman update we dropped the patch and run unencrypted again. -- \ J.

If you have no digest members, full names, subscribers who get no mail (check by comparing list_members -r, list_members -f, list_members -n) or can you ignore that stuff and do not care about preserving passwords etc then I would try something like this: #make a backup first list_members listname | grep @ > /tmp/adresses remove_members -N -f /tmp/adresses # edit /tmp/adresses and replace @ by @ add_members -r /tmp/adresses If this is not what you need then clone_member is probably the tool you need. But I never tried this myself. Start again with #make a backup first list_members listname | grep @ > /tmp/adresses # edit /tmp/adresses so that every line of the form # name@ # is changed to # clone_member -r name@ name@ # in vim I would try something like :%s/\(.*\)@/clone_member -r \1@ \1@/ sh /tmp/adresses If all else fails, tell the teacher that its a good exercise in computer science for the pupils if they change their address themselves (Probably switch on monthly reminders). :-) -- \ J.

Many people have more than one E-mailadress, but the other E-mailadresses are forwarded. If they write to a Mailing list they don't remember which adress they used to subscribe. If the mailing list is writing for subscribers only (which I recommend in most cases) the moderator gets a lot to moderate until most of these extra adresses are allowed to post to the list. I usually have long lists there. For the same reason users often have problems when unsubscribing. > If these are users who should be able to post messages but not want to > receive any messages, I would add them to the subscriber list and set > their mail delivery to "no message". Should do nearly the same thing, but brakes the principle that all subscribers subcribed theirselfs with a will of its own. Do these users get an extra monthly membership reminder? -- \ J.
