Adding Many Members
The add command can be easily used to add many members at once. This is done by using any of the line-continuation schemes discussed in the The Line Continuation Character
section. The syntax below uses the '<<' and '>>' operators to delimit a list of names to be added. The syntax to add many members is:
add listname [quiet] <<
emailaddress1
emailaddress2
>>
The quiet modifier is optional, and works exactly as it does when adding a single member. In the case where you add many members, a single quiet modifier serves to
suppress sending a "hello" message to each member.
Alternatively, you can use the "\" or "&" to separate each name, rather than delimiting the entire group. The example below uses "&" to continue the line:
add jazztalk quiet &
user1@nowhere.com &
user2@nowhere.com
