1 | Like any other piece of software (and information generally), ezmlm |
2 | comes with NO WARRANTY. | |
3 | ||
4 | ||
5 | Things you have to decide before starting: | |
6 | ||
7 | * Where programs will be installed, normally /usr/local/bin/ezmlm. To | |
8 | change this directory, edit conf-bin now. | |
9 | ||
10 | * Where man pages will be installed, normally /usr/local/man. To change | |
11 | this directory, edit conf-man now. | |
12 | ||
13 | * Where the qmail home directory is, normally /var/qmail. To change this | |
14 | directory, edit conf-qmail now. | |
15 | ||
16 | ||
17 | How to install: | |
18 | ||
19 | 1. Compile the programs: | |
20 | % make | |
21 | 2. Format the man pages: | |
22 | % make man | |
23 | 3. Install the programs and man pages: | |
24 | # make setup | |
25 | ||
26 | ||
27 | How to test: | |
28 | ||
29 | 4. Make sure ezmlm-make is in your path. Create a mailing list: | |
30 | % ezmlm-make ~/testlist ~/.qmail-testlist me-testlist host | |
31 | Replace ``me'' and ``host'' with your e-mail address. | |
32 | 5. Subscribe yourself to the list manually: | |
33 | % ezmlm-sub ~/testlist me@host | |
34 | 6. Send a message to the list: | |
35 | % echo subject:testing | qmail-inject me-testlist@host | |
36 | You should receive a copy of the message at me@host. | |
37 | 7. View the list membership: | |
38 | % ezmlm-list ~/testlist | |
39 | You should see just one line, containing your address. | |
40 | 8. Unsubscribe yourself through e-mail: | |
41 | % qmail-inject me-testlist-unsubscribe@host < /dev/null | |
42 | When you receive the confirmation number, reply to complete your | |
43 | unsubscription. Use ezmlm-list to check that the list is empty. | |
44 | 9. Retrieve the first message from the archive: | |
45 | % qmail-inject me-testlist-get.1@host < /dev/null | |
46 | You should receive a copy of your subject:testing message. | |

49 | That's it! To report success: | |
50 | % ( echo 'First M. Last'; cat `cat SYSDEPS` ) \ | |
51 | | mail djb-qst@koobera.math.uic.edu | |
52 | Replace First M. Last with your name. |
