10 | ||
11 | Like any other piece of software (and information generally), ezmlm-idx | |
12 | comes with NO WARRANTY. | |
13 | ||
14 | This is an addition and patch to ezmlm-0.53 [(c) Dan J. Bernstein]. | |
15 | Ezmlm-idx uses Dan's libraries and heavily relies on ezmlm-0.53 code. | |
16 | ezmlm-idx does not function without ezmlm-0.53. | |
17 | ||
18 | ezmlm-0.53 provides basic message distribution, subscriber address handling, | |
19 | message archiving (single quoted message retrieval only), and bounce | |
20 | handling. ezmlm-idx adds multi-message threaded archive retrieval, digests, | |
21 | remote administration, message and subscription moderation, subscriber-only | |
22 | restrictions, message trailer, subject prefix, subscriber name storage, | |
23 | customizable setup, multi-language and MIME support and more. In addition, | |
24 | improved bounce handling, case-insensitive subscriber address storage, | |
25 | and support for distributed lists (main + sublist transparent to the | |
26 | subscriber). Ezmlm-idx can now be compiled with MySQL or Postgres support. | |
27 | ||

39 | complain and the results may not match the documentation. Changes required | |
