The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Greg Foster <address@concealed>]

Hi All,

I'm looking to migrate mailing lists from our current email system to Sympa.  

I have script created that translates existing mailing list settings to their 
Sympa equivalent and then generates an XML file that will be used to 
instantiate the list family with these lists.

Part of that script dumps the list subscribers of each list into text files 
(1 for each list) and I then want to use the text files to import those users 
into their respective Sympa list.  

This all works, except I can't see to get rid of the welcome message that is 
generated as each subscriber is imported into a list.

The command I'm using to import the subscribers looks like:

    > sympa.pl --import address@concealed < import-file.txt

I see no command line option to suppress the welcome messages.  Does anyone 
know if it's possible to to suppress the welcome message when importing users 
in this manner?

Thanks!
