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
