After going through all of that it hit me earlier how it worked. I have been
using PMDF's mailing list software and it works a little different. You have
a list of addresses that the messages are to be sent to and then a separate
list of addresses for people who can post. Then a configuration on if people
can subscribe themself or not.
That brings me to another migration issue. We have about 600 lists or so that
are created automatically every semester (university environment) for classes
and then some that is for all students student organizations and students
faculty etc etc. Since the list is just a plain text file with email
addresses they are created via a script and ftp to the VMS server running
PMDF overwriting the old lists. I have looked at the mailman config files and
it's a mess. Is there a way to do a similar kind of thing with mailman as in
having the members in a separate file than the list configuration file. Or
some solution for automation of list creation.
Thanks
Brian
