We have a number of users that are marked as total non-disclosure users here
at Boston College. It would be nice to be able to flag a user globally as
only visible to list owners. I know a user can go in on a list by list
basis and set this flag, but that could be time consuming and in the mean
time we violate FERPA.

I could write a script that would look those users up and then using a SQL
command change all the non-disclosure people to visibility_subscriber =
"conceal", but that would leave the email address visible for a short time.

I could create a database trigger, but I am not that l33t in SQL and I would
rather not do that.

I could add something to the add a subscribe routines in Sympa to make the
change if the user was non-disclosure, does any one know where in the Sympa
code I should look to add this functionality?
