add_members with names
Hi
- I have a file in the following format
"member name in quotes" email_address@domain.tld
and want to be able to add members using data from this file. add_members add_members -r /absolute/path/to/file listname reports Bad/Invalid email address: "member name in quotes" email_address@domain.tld
Are any alternative scripts available to provide the flexibility needed?
I really need to use predefined member names.
- As an additional query is there a way of automatically making new members subject to moderation and automatically turning off moderation after a predetermined number of postings from that member have been approved?

The addresses need to be in the format
"member name in quotes" <email_address@domain.tld>
See <http://wiki.list.org/x/YoA9> for other formats. The quotes around the name above are only required if the name contains non alphanumeric characters. I.e.
John Doe <jdoe@example.com>
is OK, but
"Jane Q. Doe" <jdoe@example.com>
needs to be quoted.

You do the former by setting Privacy options... -> Sender filters -> default_member_moderation to Yes.
There is no automatic (after n posts) way to clear the mod flag, but when the moderator goes to the admindb page to approve a post from a moderated member, there is a checkbox that the moderator can use to clear the mod flag of the member whose post is being approved.
