Hello,
Thank you for your help with the moderation status.
My next question - I have two lists from Yahoo to import. I’ve migrated them through groups.io and have a convenient export. I now have all the data in formats I can handle. (json file for members, mbox for archives.) What’s the best way to import hundreds of users, setting their mail delivery status and moderation status at the same time? (There doesn’t seem to be a command line option for adding members anymore where you can also set their delivery status.) I’ve looked at the documentation, but couldn’t figure out what to do.
Thanks, Seth

You are correct that there is no existing command line tool or Postorius way to do this.
If you have facility with Python, you can look at the mailman import21 command which is actually processed by mailman/utilities/importer.py. It shouldn't be too difficult to adapt the part that imports the list members to use your data and create a script to do what you want.
Alternatively, you could create a script that would post the appropriate transactions to add a member and set moderation and delivery status to Mailman's REST API and use that to process your members.

Great! I can definitely do the REST API route. If I create a script to take a CSV and push it through the API, is there a place I can post it to make it useful for others?

Ideally you would create a merge request to add it to https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/tree/master/contrib/
