The subscribers will be handled by a bash loop something like this, you should of course substitute withyour install paths etc.: for ADDR in `/usr/local/bin/ezmlm-list /var/spool/ezmlm/NAME` ; do /usr/local/bin/mlmmj-sub -L /var/spool/mlmmj/NAME -a $ADDR done It's getting too long since I touched ezmlm lists to remember the settings flags, but I dunno if it wouldn't be better to sit down reading TUNABLES and deciding freshly for each new list. If you manage to create a nice script for this, I'll of course add it to the contrib/ directory of mlmmj ;-) -- Mads Martin Joergensen, http://mmj.dk "Why make things difficult, when it is possible to make them cryptic and totally illogical, with just a little bit more effort?" -- A.
