The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Stefan,

Sympa provides a command-line argument to import subscribers into a 
list, using a text file as the input.
Check http://www.sympa.org/doc/html/node9.html#SECTION00950000000000000000

You should also check the mailman2Sympa scripts from our website : 
http://www.sympa.org/contrib.html
(if you extend them, let us know)
