Create an add job as follows: QUIET ADD listname DD=X IMPORT //X DD * internet-address1 internet-address2 /* where "listname" is the name of the new list, and "internet-address1", "internet-address2" and other users are the internet addresses from the original 7list that you want to add to the new list.
