Have you checked into $LOCALBASE/mailman/bin/add_members? You could
probably wrap a script around it easily enough.
usage:
/usr/local/mailman/bin/add_members
Add members to a list from the command line.
Usage:
add_members [options] listname
Options:
--regular-members-file=file
-r file
A file containing addresses of the members to be added, one
address per line. This list of people become non-digest
members. If file is `-', read addresses from stdin. Note that
-n/--non-digest-members-file are deprecated synonyms for this
option.
--digest-members-file=file
-d file
Similar to above, but these people become digest members.
--welcome-msg=<y|n>
-w <y|n>
Set whether or not to send the list members a welcome message,
overriding whatever the list's `send_welcome_msg' setting is.
--admin-notify=<y|n>
-a <y|n>
Set whether or not to send the list administrators a notification on
the success/failure of these subscriptions, overriding whatever the
list's `admin_notify_mchanges' setting is.
--help
-h
Print this help message and exit.
listname
The name of the Mailman list you are adding members to. It must
already exist.
You must supply at least one of -r and -d options. At most one of the
files can be `-'.
Best,
--Glenn
