We're programmatically generating mailing lists list1@example.com list2@example.com
We've also creating new email addresses user1@domain.com, user2@domain.com
How is it possible to subscribe user1@domain.com to list1@example.com
Currently, i'm looking into send commands to list1-request@example.com with subscribe password nodigest address=user1@domain.com
This however sends back a confirmation request, how can i subscribe only the autogenerated user1@domain.com without confirmation?
add_members.
Or script something that takes advantage of the common parts (in your example, the numeral), to create the list, and handle the subscription:
== untested ==
#!/bin/sh
set -e
passwd=apg -n1
newlist list${1} listadmin@example.com ${passwd}
cat "user${1}@domain.com" > subscr
add_members -r subscr list${1}
rm subscr
as something quick and dirty. The assumptions are that urlhost and emailhost settings will be fine, otherwise, specify them, with their respective options.
Create that as a script, and run it with the common variable (e.g. 1) as its only arguement.
