This is the nice, fast way to add a bunch of addresses.  The drawback is
that the people being added don't get sent a notification that they've been
added.

If it's OK for you to bog down your LISTSERV machine for a while, there's
an alternative syntax that will send out notifications to everyone:

ADD listname DD=X
//X DD *
user1@node1 *
user2@node2 *
[. . .]
lastuser@lastnode *
/*

Each email address must be followed either by the subscriber's first and
last name or by an * .

A seperate email message is sent to each subscriber, so this is much more
time-consuming and resource-intensive than the other approach.

Corrections, as always, are welcome.
