There are 3 ways I can think of to do it.  How many subscribers are we
talking about? (total/digest)

1.  if most are digest, only a few not:

  set header to read:  Default-Options= Digest,option2,option3,etc
  do the mass ADD
  short cmd file to
    SET listname NODIGEST FOR user1@address1
    SET listname NODIGEST FOR user2@address2
    etc

Alternate method: (no changes to header needed)
  do the mass ADD
  QUIET SET listname DIGEST FOR *@*
  short cmd file to
    SET listname NODIGEST FOR user1@address1
    SET listname NODIGEST FOR user2@address2
    etc

2.  If most are mail, only a few digest:

  set header as necessary
  do the mass ADD
  short cmd file to
    SET listname DIGEST FOR user1@address1
    SET listname DIGEST FOR user2@address2
    etc

3.  if the numbers are huge you need a bulk job cmd

  QUIET SET listname DD=X
  //X DD *
  user1@address1
  user2@address2
  etc
  /*
