You can do that, but it will result in the system sending you 190
separate OK confirmation codes that you would have to process one at a time.

To avoid that inconvenience, make an "ok batch" instead.

See section 2.12.7 The "OK" Confirmation Mechanism here:

The discussion there suggests putting no more than "10-12 commands" in a
batch, but it works just fine with hundreds at a time.

Alternatively, you could "quiet set listname nopost for *@*" and then
set post for only the selected ten. Depends on which set of data you
happen to have most handy for generating the commands from.

I am assuming that I can include 190 lines of text in my command email, yes? In other words, 1 line for each of the 190 users.
