[Mailman-Users] batch updates to mail lists?

[Bob Treitman]

Question: Can list administrators do batch replacements of
the entire mailing list membership list?

I'm considering using Mailman to distribute email newsletters
to an organization whose email addresses are stored in a
database.  For several reasons, I don't want people (un)subscribing
from Mailman; instead, I want to make sure that their email
addresses are disabled in the database, and then the list
administrator will replace the existing Mailman list with a
completely new list generated from the database in plain text
or any other format.

The reasons:

1. As people are removed from the database, I need to make sure
that their email addresses are removed from the Mailman list.
2. I need to minimize the administrative effort, and since we
need to make the changes in the database, I would rather not
duplicate the work by editing the Mailman list.
