Could I possibly see what a script that submits a JOB msg looks like?

Some sites did not create the all-request because, prior to LISTSERV
1.8e,
anyone could send a message to this alias. We are one of those sites
which
chose not to create the all-request alias. Instead, we created a closed
announcement list to which all non-quiet list owners are subscribed. The
list is used infrequently. Before each use, we run a script which
extracts
all non-quiet owner addresses from all list headers and submits a job to
refresh the list. This approach not only enables us to control who can
send
messages to an address that reaches all list owners, it also provides us
with an archive of those messages, to which we can refer list owners
when
we get the inevitable "Why didn't you notify me of ... ?" questions.
