See copy
from memory, pretty much as in:
cat <file> | \
psql -d $DB -c "copy <table> from STDIN [with delimiter ','];"
You'll see that db users can't copy a file into a table but can copy
STDIN, so this approach works well.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
