6# ezmlmrc
7# #######
8# Controls the actions of ezmlm-make as patched with ezmlm-idx-0.31 or later.
9#
10# The base directory 'DIR' is always created by ezmlm-make, as is DIR/key.
11# Everything else is done from here.
12#
13# ezmlm-make looks for this file, first as .ezmlmrc in the directory that the
14# lists .qmail files will be placed in (if you've used the -c command line
15# switch), then /etc/ezmlmrc, then ezmlmrc in the ezmlm-make binary directory.
16# Thus, you can customize ezmlm-make on a global level by placing a customized
17# copy of ezmlmrc in /etc and on a user level by copying it to .ezmlmrc in
18# the user's home directory AND use the ezmlm-make -c switch.
19#
20# Tags are:
21# </filename/> : put succeeding text lines in DIR/filename
22# </-filename/> : erase DIR/filename.
23# </+dirname/> : create directory DIR/dirname
24# </:lname/dirname> : symlink DIR/.qmail-list-lname -> DIR/dirname
25#
26# The name in the tag can be suffixed with '#' and any number of flags,
27# corresponding to command line switches. The item will be created/extended
28# only if all the flags listed are set. Files can be extended as long as they
29# were the last one created, but not if another file has been started since
30# then. Flags that are not recognized are silently ignored.
31#
32# Thus, </filename#aP/> creates the file if and only if the list is archived
33# (-a) and not public (-P). If the next tag is </filename#m/>, the file is
34# extended with the lines up to the next tag if the list is message moderated
35# (-m). If the next tag is </another/>, 'filename' is closed. Any further
36# tags leading to the reopenining of 'filename' will overwrite the file, not
37# extend it.
38#
39# A set of user-defined command line switches (xX, yY, zZ) are available for
40# customization.
41#
42# Within the text, certain tags are substituted. Other tags are copied as
43# is. <#A#> and <#R#> are substituted by ezmlm-manage and -store (see man pages)
44# and <#l#> (lower case L) is replaced dynamically by the list name for
45# programs handling both 'list' and 'list-digest'.
46#
47# Substitutions are:
48# <#B#> ezmlm binaries path <#C#> digest code <#D#> dir
49# <#H#> host <#L#> local <#F#> flags
50# <#T#> dot <#0#> arg for -0. <#3#>...<#9#> arg for -3..9
51# <#1#> ext1 <#2#> ext2 [if dot is /path/.qmail-ext1-ext2-name]
52# The latter useful when a single user is controlling several virtual domains.
53#
54# -0 is used for the main list address when setting up sublists
55# -3 is for the new from header if we want that header replaced
56# -4 for specifying the ezmlm-tstdig switches used in dir/editor. Default
57# -k64 -m30 -t24. Only used if -g is used.
58# -5 for list-owner address. Mail to list-owner will be forwarded to this addr.
59# -6 for sql connection info
60# -7 for contents of DIR/modpost
61# -8 for contents of DIR/modsub
62# -9 for contents of DIR/remote
63#
64# For demonstration purposes, the '-x' switch results in the following
65# non-standard actions:
66# - Removal of many non-text MIME parts from messages.
67# - Limit posts to 2 bytes <= msg body size <= 40000
68#
69# Attempts to create links or directories that already exist, will result
70# in a FATAL error. Attempts to open files that have already been closed
71# or already exits, will cause the old file to be overwritten.
72#
73# One of the major problems with ezmlm-lists is DIR/inlocal. For normal
74# users, it is set up to the list name (user-list or so), which is correct.
75# However, for user 'ezmlm' in control of virtual domain 'host.dom.com'
76# the list name is 'list@host.dom.com', but inlocal should be 'ezmlm-list',
77# not 'list'. Similarly, if ezmlm-domain1 is in control of 'host.dom.com,
78# list@host.dom.com, should yield an inlocal of 'ezmlm-domain1-list'. To
79# always get the lists correct, place this file as '.ezmlmrc' in the
80# users home directory (~ezmlm/.ezmlmrc) and change the inlocal text below
81# to 'ezmlm-<#L#>' or 'ezmlm-<#1#>-<#L#>, respectively.
82# config to support future editing without giving ezmlm-make command line
83# arguments other than dir. Useful for GUI/WWW editing tools

568This is a generic help message. The message I received wasn't sent to
569any of my command addresses.
570
571Here is a list of the command addresses supported:
572
573Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
574 <<#L#>-info@<#H#>>
575 <<#L#>-faq@<#H#>>
576
577</#dE/>
578Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
579 <<#L#>-digest-subscribe@<#H#>>
580 <<#L#>-digest-unsubscribe@<#H#>>
581
582# ezmlm-make -i needed to add ezmlm-get line. If not, we can't do
583# multi-get!
584</#aE/>
585To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
586 <<#L#>-get.123_145@<#H#>>
587
588To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456, mail:
589 <<#L#>-index.123_456@<#H#>>
590
591To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
592send an empty message to:
593 <<#L#>-thread.12345@<#H#>>
594
595</#E/>
596The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
597their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.
598
599You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
600for example "john@host.domain", just add a hyphen and your
601address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
602 <<#L#>-subscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
603
604To stop subscription for this address, mail:
605 <<#L#>-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
606
607</text/mod-help#E/>
608Thank you for agreeing to moderate the <#L#>@<#H#>
609mailing list.
610
611My commands are a little different from other mailing lists,
612but I think you will find them intuitive and easy to use.
613
614Here are some instructions for the tasks you may have to perform
615as a list-owner and/or moderator.
616
617General list instructions follow at the end of this message.
618
619Remote subscription
620-------------------
621As a moderator, you can subscribe and unsubscribe any address to
622the mailing list. To subscribe "john@host.domain", simply put
623a hyphen after the command word, then his address with '=' instead
624of the '@'. For instance, to subscribe that address, send mail to:
625 <<#L#>-subscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
626
627You can similarly remove the address by sending a message to:
628 <<#L#>-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
629
630</#dE/>
631For the digest list:
632 <<#L#>-digest-subscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
633 <<#L#>-digest-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
634
635</#E/>
636That's all. No subject and no message body needed!
637
638</#rE/>
639I will send you a confirmation request, to make sure
640that you really sent the request. Simply reply to the
641message, and your wish has been granted.
642</#RE/>
643I will send a confirmation request to the user address, in this
644case <john@host.domain>. All the user has to do is to reply to
645this confirmation request message.
646</#E/>
647
648The confirmations are necessary to make it extremely hard
649for a third party to add or remove an address to the list.
650
651I will notify the user when his/her subscriber status
652has changed.
653
654Subscription
655------------
656
657Any user can subscribe or unsubscribe by sending mail to:
658
659 <<#L#>-subscribe@<#H#>>
660 <<#L#>-unsubscribe@<#H#>>
661
662</#dE/>
663For the digest list:
664
665 <<#L#>-digest-subscribe@<#H#>>
666 <<#L#>-digest-unsubscribe@<#H#>>
667
668</#E/>
669The user will receive a confirmation request to make
670sure s/he controls the subscription address. Once this
671is verified the user is unsubscribed.
672
673</#sE/>
674Since this list is moderated for subscriptions, I will send a
675second confirmation request to the moderator(s). Since the user
676has already confirmed the desire to be on the list, you as the
677moderator can be highly confident that the subscriber address is
678real. If you want to approve the users request, simply reply to
679my CONFIRM message. If not, you can simply delete my message or
680possibly contact the potential subscriber for more information.
681</#SE/>
682Subscriptions work the same way.
683</#E/>
684
685The user can also use:
686
687 <<#L#>-subscribe-mary=host.domain@<#H#>>
688 <<#L#>-unsubscribe-mary=host.domain@<#H#>>
689
690to have mail sent to "mary@host.domain". Only if she receives mail
691at this address will she receive the confirmation request and be
692able to reply to it.
693
694Your address and identity will not be revealed to the subscriber,
695unless you send mail directly to the user.
696
697</#rlE/>
698To get a subscriber list for <#L#>@<#H#>, send a message to:
699 <<#L#>-list@<#H#>>
700
701To get a list transaction log <#L#>@<#H#>, send a message to:
702 <<#L#>-log@<#H#>>
703
704</#rldE/>
705For digest subscribers:
706 <<#L#>-digest-list@<#H#>>
707and:
708 <<#L#>-digest-log@<#H#>>
709
710</#rnE/>
711You can remotely edit the text files that make up the responses the
712list sends out. To get a list of files and editing instructions, mail:
713 <<#L#>-edit@<#H#>>
714
715</#mE/>
716Moderated posts
717---------------
718When posts are moderated, I will save the posted message and send
719you a copy together with instructions. The message to you will
720have "MODERATE for ..." as the subject.
721
722To accept the post, just reply to the 'Reply-To:', which I have
723configured with the correct "accept" address address. You do not need
724to include the post itself. In fact, I will ignore anything you send
725me as long as the address you send to is correct.
726
727If you want to reject it, send mail to the 'From:' address, which
728I have configured with the correct "reject" address. This can
729usually be done by 'reply-to-all', then deleting any address other
730than the "reject" address. You may add a comment to the sender between
731two lines starting with three '%'. I will send only this comment to the
732sender with the rejected post. Again, I will not reveal your identity.
733
734I will process the message according to the first reply I receive.
735If you send me a request to accept a message that has already been
736rejected or vice versa, I will let you know.
737
738If I receive no moderator replies within a certain period of
739time (normally 5 days), I will return the message to the sender
740with an explanation of what happened. Your administrator can also
741set up the list so that such "ignored" messages are simply deleted
742without notification, rather than returned to sender.
743</#E/>
744
745Vacations
746---------
747If you are temporarily at a different address, just forward all messages
748that have the correct 'Mailing-List:' header (or all that have subjects
749starting with 'MODERATE for <#L#>@<#H#>'
750or 'CONFIRM subscribe to <#L#>@<#H#>') to the
751new address. You can then moderate from the new address. Alternatively,
752you can forward the messages to a friend so that s/he can moderate
753for you. Please OK this with the list owner first.
754
755If you would like to automatically approve all requests while you
756are gone, set up you mail client to auto-reply to messages that
757have subjects meeting the above criteria.
758
759</#rE/>
760If you try to do remote administration from an address that is not
761your own, the subscriber, not you, will be asked to confirm. After
762that, a moderator confirm request is sent to all moderators.
763I'm doing this because I have no way of knowing that it is you that
764sent the original request.
765
766Please note that your original request (and your address) are sent to
767the subscriber in this case!
768</#E/>
769
770Good luck!
771
772PS: Please contact the list owner (<#L#>-owner@<#H#>) if you
773have any questions or problems.

1050your request and is not a subscriber of this list.
1051
1052If you unsubscribe, but continue to receive mail, you're subscribed
1053under a different address than the one you currently use.
1054Please look at the header for:
1055
1056'Return-Path: <<#l#>-return-1234-user=host.dom@<#H#>>'
1057
1058This shows that the subscription address is ``user@host.dom''.
1059The unsubscribe address for this user would be:
1060'<#l#>-unsubscribe-user=host.dom@<#H#>'.
1061
1062Just mail to that address, adjusted for the real subscription address.
1063
1064If the message has a ``List-Unsubscribe:'' header, you can send
1065a message to the address in that header. It contains the subscription
1066already coded into it.
1067
1068For some mail programs, you need to make the headers visible to
1069see the return path:
1070
1071For Eudora 4.0, click on the "Blah blah ..." button.
1072For PMMail, click on "Window->Show entire message/header".
1073
1074If this still doesn't work, I'm sorry to say that I can't help you.
1075Please FORWARD a list message together with a note about what you're
1076trying to achieve and a list of addresses that you might be subscribed
1077under to my owner:
