[Mailman-Users] Good use of the site list?

[DongInn Kim]

Hi Mark,

Yes, that works! Thank you very much.

But I found that there is a tiny bug in your script.
It should have the double quote (") for each entry (list) of accept_these_nonmembers like the following:

> #!/bin/bash
> cd /path/to/mailman
> f=`mktemp`
> bin/list_lists --bare |
> awk 'BEGIN{print "accept_these_nonmembers = ["}
>    !/^SITE_LIST$/{print "\"@"$1"\","}
>    END{print "]"}' > $f
> bin/config_list -i $f SITE_LIST
> rm $f

Regards,
