Do you mean something like this in an e-mail to majordomo?
approve password subscribe test-list :include:/usr/local/mail/lists/test-friend-list
That won't work. Majordomo rejects it. If the ability via e-mail
commands to "nest" a list within another list is a must, you can do:
approve password subscribe test-list test-friend-list@yourdomain.com
The main difference from your list members' point of view is that if a
subscriber address happens to be on both lists, the :include: method
prevents that person from receiving duplicate messages. If the nested
list's address is added instead, that person will receive duplicates.
