You could create a script on your work station to issue 'wget' commands to do the subscribes. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/uIA9> and the post at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-December/041214.html>. The script could be something like #!/bin/sh for list in listname1 listname2 listname3 listname4 listname5; do wget -O - http://[domain.name]/mailman/admin/$list/members/add\ ?subscribees="$1"\ &adminpw=[admin_password]\ &send_welcome_msg_to_this_batch=0\ &send_notifications_to_list_owner=0 done If this were saved in a file named say sub5 and given execute permission, you could then in a terminal window do /path/to/sub5 "John Doe <j...@example.com>" to subscribe that user to the 5 lists. See the above linked post for more info on the wget command parameters. > 2. Is there a way to look at the lists hosted collectively ?
