users should be on a mailing list #2

because cuit-provided simple lists are behind "CAS" sso, we opt to use a mailman list instead.

along with incremental updates that occur when a new user is made (or even removed), periodic cron jobs should run that clear out the list membership and repopulate it:

we cannot trust cuit's list service with respect to uptime and other guarantees. the "makeuser script" should gracefully skip adding the user to this mailing list if it fails/is unable to do so.

therefore, since the makeuser script is not atomic, it will need to be rectified periodically.
