Re: [Mailman-Users] NOOB !

:: Just installed Mailman, and being such a noob, I can't seem to work out how :: to utilise the add_members script correctly. :: :: ./add_members user@address.com listname :: :: It complains that I haven't used one of the -r or -d options, and that's :: where I am not clear as to what filename/paths I should be using.

If you run the add_members command without any arguments, it'll show you this:

--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.

So, what you should be doing is something like this:

echo "user@address.com" | ./add_members -r - listname

Consider it done :)
