Now I think I'll do something different:
1) my user database will know how to write the list of persons it wants to
see as subscribers to some listname. This will be the result of of web
query with authentication. Its answer's format will be
email -- password for mailing-lists -- name (seperated by tabulations)
2) a script will call the page every 2 hours, check that it came through
without problems, then do
withlist listname
unsubscribe everybody
while (<parse the received list>)
subscribe address=joe@mail.com, passwd=xxxx, name=Joe User
(maybe just update the list by flagging "nomail" on/ or deleting/ absent
addresses and by adding the new ones, in order to keep all the flags)
