What would be the easiest way to do this? An external script that runs nightly and uses Discourse’s API? Or is there a plugin that exists already? Thanks.

You are describing what is probably the worst solution to your problem. Can you take a step back and define the problem? What’s maintaining the list? DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso) is a likely solution, though there could be others.

I love the bluntness of computer people :slight_smile: I was considering trying out Mirroring a read-only mailing list in Discourse with a private mailing list and therefore a private Discourse category.

[图片] Jonathan5: fairly accustomed to PHP so think I could write a script I hate php, so your solution is sounding worse! :joy: But the discourse api is pretty easy to figure out, so I think your solution is sounding like the right one for you! If mailman has hooks, you could have it make ap…
