adding multiple addresses to mailing list

[eugene]

Is there any way to import a "large" number of addresses to the majordomo mail list?
I am migrating from a box being hosted on an ensim box to a DA box. My mailing list has about 100 people and I am too lazy to type or even copy/paste them in one by one.
Thanks.

Hello,

I havn't implemented something like that yet. If you have root, you can just do it manually:

/etc/virtual/domain.com/majordomo/lists/listname

Thanks. If if had root, I wouldn't have had to ask . . .

Hello,

Perhaps there is a majordomo feature for doing that? If anyone knows, let us know

How-to

If you have cURL, or some other equivalent simply batch something like:
curl http://USERNAME :PASSWORD@DOMAIN:2222/CMD_EMAIL_LIST?domain=domain&name=listname&action=add&type=list&email=emailaddress

If you have curl, you can even use the multiple option construct like:
curl http://USERNAME :PASSWORD@DOMAIN:2222/CMD_EMAIL_LIST?domain=domain&name=listname&action=add&type=list&email={emailaddress1,emailaddress2,emailaddress3,emailaddress4,emailaddress5}

You can send multiple subscribe lines to majordomo in one email.

To see the proper format of the subcribe email, see the list-owner-info file.

Since you didn't include it in DA, I've put a copy of it here.

Note that if you do it this way, each person will get a message asking if s/he wants to be in the list.

But that's a good thing .

I know. I was trying to add people silently.
Thanks for the post though.
