I suggested the same thing. The following file may help with routine
administrative tasks like this. The command "mj -d test" will make a
digest for list test. It has a couple of convenient hacks to use the
right syntax and to find the password for you.
Use the -D parameter to see what it does. Note that our mail program is
called "Mail", you may need to change it to "mail". Requires getopts.
