Here is the current script with the cleaned up command to work with the group
file directly.

#!/bin/sh
rm -f /root/mailusers
getent group staff | cut -d':' -f4 | sed -e 's/,/@winonacotter.org OK,/g' -e
's/,/\n/g' > /etc/mailusers
postmap hash:/etc/mailusers

But I still have the problem with the last user not getting the
"@winonacotter.org OK" appended.  I am stumped with that right now.
