Serge, have you considered adding a pipe for the majordomo alias to Sendmail
(or whartever MTA you're running) to add and delete users from a master text
file? Then it will occur in realtime and you'd just have to pipe to a small
script.

You might want to pipe through uniq as well if you go that route and there
can be duplicates across the files. Also, if you are going to run a script
every X minutes there's no benefit in regenerating the master file if the
other files haven't changed. So you might want to check their timestamps by
doing something like:
for FILE in `find . -mmin -5 -type f`
do
lockfile out.lock
cat | sort | uniq > out
rm -f out.lock
done
Note that the above is pseudo-code and "find" will definitely need more
parameters to only check your subscriber lists.
