You prepare a file that looks like this:
quiet add xyz-l dd=userlist
//userlist dd *
user1
user2
...
and mail it to LISTSERV. If you're running 1.8b, add IMPORT after
DD=USERLIST. This will speed up the process and relax syntax checks. With
the IMPORT option you can import subscribers in just about any format.
