All --

I could use some help in figuring out a good way to re-enable the subscriptions of several thousands of subscribers that have been automatically suspended because of bounces.

I have the email addresses of the folks who need to be re-enabled. I have the passwords for these users too.

I tried by sending out a 'brief' email with about 300 lines like set authenticate <password> address=user@domain.tld set delivery ON ...

and mailman dutifully processed the first dozen lines and ignored the rest. I'm pretty sure the reason for this would be to prevent a mass attack via email, and that's probably best left alone.

However, I need to do this in batches much larger than 12.

Any thoughts? (I do have root access to the machine, so pretty much anything is possible.)
