Hello, there.
I am using a MailMan system instaled at by the hosting company which offers us the possibily to have mail lists.
I have to deliver a little report in a month basis and have 1200+ addresses to add.
I have a file (Unix CR+LF format) in my Linux box and before adding it using the MailMan List Administrator web front-end I want to know in wich format the file must be.
Comma-separated values, one address by line....? CR-LF Unix or MS-Windows format...?
I'll feed the MailMan System using Mozilla for Windows.
Thanks in advance.

I just added 1,000 subscribers to my first mailman list over the weekend using a Majordomo subscription list, which was a linux-formatted file with one email address per line. I used Firefox on Windows to do it after scp'ing the file down from the linux box.
address1@domain.com address2@domain2.com etc.
Worked perfectly. Just be sure you have the notification provisions the way you want them, you may not want 1200 people getting a Welcome message for instance.

One address per line - If you want names and addresses, see FAQ article 3.44. The actual line terminators probably don't matter, but I would suggest whatever is the native format for the box your browser is running on.

BTW, what's Unix CR-LF? Native Unix text files have LF only between lines.

Thanks, I should have said \n ;-) I meant Carriage Return and/or Line Feed.... :)
