[Mailman-Users] adding users with nomail bit set

[Rusty Wilson]

p.s. because this is a brand new list, a workable alternative for me is to globally set the nomail bit for all users in the list (after an import). Is this possible and/or a better way?

Subject: [Mailman-Users] adding users with nomail bit set

I have several hundred users I need to add to a new list, but I need them added such that they wont get email from the list.

Is there a way to add members to a newly created list such that their
"nomail" bit is set (i.e. i do not want them to get email from the
list)?

I've looked at the "add_members" command in /bin and
there does not seem to be a parameter for this option. I've also checked
the FAQ and searchable archives, but was not able to find a solution.

all suggestions appreciated.
