post-rules

Syntax : post-rules password list-name
Post the contents of rules.txt to the (list-name) list.

qadd

Quiet user addition. Same as add command, but no welcome message is sent.

qdel

Quiet user deletion. Same as del command, but no goodbye message is sent.

rebuild-archive

syntax : rebuild-archive password list-name
Rebuild the list archive. Used occasionally to update software versions, as well as to re-create the index, etc.

list.cfg modifications.
Example:
reload-list-config *foo123 space-l

resend-mod

syntax : resend-mod password list-name
Allows the list owner to make Dolist resend moderator action files that are queued. Sometimes moderation or bad word processing isn't done or is forgotten; this command will re-process all waiting files· .

stats

syntax : stats password list-name
Allows the list owner to get statistics immediately, rather than waiting for the daily automatic stats message.

status

syntax : password list-name e-mail expression
Set list member status to:

NORMAL : normal mode (no ban, no moderation).
BAN : User cannot subscribe, unsubscribe, post or receive mail.
MOD : Set user to moderated status. (See moderation for more information).
HOL / NOHOL : Set user to holiday / no holiday mode.
DIG / NODIG : Set user to digest / no digest mode.
REPRO / NOREPRO : Set user to receive / not receive his own mail via the list.
ACK / NOACK : Set user to receive / not receive confirmation after posting.

A member who is banned cannot be removed by anyone (including the list owner) until his status has been changed to another mode (NORMAL or MOD). An attempt by a banned member to unsubscribe will receive a response as if they were unsubscribed, but will stay subscribed nonetheless. This is an effective way to block spammers and others who might seek to cause trouble on the list.
