I assume you mean a list taken from a webserver. There's actually a better way; if you have a web form for people to sign up, and you're just recording their addresses in this file that you want to "pull", do it this way instead: Have your web form (or a script that process the test file) simply send a completely blank email to the ezmlm subscription address. i.e., if your list is "[email protected]", and someone puts "martin@internal" into the form, just have your script send a blank mail message to [email protected]. This means you're not losing the advantage of ezmlm's subscription forgery prevention. If you just use ezmlm-sub, you completely lose that advantage, and open your mailing list up to abuse.
