First, you need to determine who is on NOMAIL. Issue this command from an
Owner address:
QUERY listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@*
Extract email addresses from the results but be prepared they will be quite
verbose. If you prefer something that's easier to parse with a script or
program, try this instead:
QUERY ***GUI*** listname WITH NOMAIL FOR *@*
(Details for the above command here
<http://www.lsoft.com/manuals/16.0/htmlhelp/advanced%20topics/TCPGUI.html#23
34236>.)
Next, edit the DELETE1 template to include the message you want to convey to
all subscribers being removed.
Lastly, issue this command from an Owner address:
OK BEGIN
DEL listname user1@node
DEL listname user-2@node
DEL listname 3-user@node
[continue for all addresses]
OK END
Bracketing the command with OK BEGIN/OK END means you'll only get a single
OK confirmation message sent to you instead of one for each subscriber.
