Invite subscribers via command line.
Hello,
Due to new rules and regulations I will have to massively INVITE subscribers.
I have some idea on how to (shell)script Subscribe (add_members (-r|-d) file list)
but I am afraid a -invite key does not exist (yet) to massively Invite subscribers.
Any chance to get this feature ?
Thanks, Jacques

For years on my own site, I have used a modified version of add_members that does only invitation. It also removes some of the add_members options. I don't recall why I didn't just add a -i/--invite option to add_members at the time. Probably because this was going to be invoked by a php script written/maintained by a not completely trusted person.
Anyway, I'll look at adding the option to add_members for the next release.

I see : Bug Description This is particularly important for *GDPR*.
That's *exactly* my concern.
Will look around and tell you about.

Hi
I am twiking
the /usr/share/mailman/fr/invite.txt file
with mentions to GDPR
but the changes are not reflected on the message received by the subscribers.
I restarted Mailman.
Sure I am missing something.
Any help ?

I don't understand. Are you saying that editing /usr/share/mailman/fr/invite.txt was inneffective but editing /etc/mailman/fr/invite.txt was effective?
In any case, The wiki page at <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030605> discusses the search rules and locations of templates in our Mailman distribution. It appears you are working with a downstream package that puts things in different places, possibly symlinking to/from other places. Please see the page at <https://wiki.list.org/x/12812344>.

I do.

Debian 8 Mailman 2.1.18-2+deb8u2
Forget it, we have plans for an upgrade upto Debian 9 these days.
