11 | Description: An easy-to-use, high-speed mailing list manager for qmail. | |
12 | ezmlm lets users set up their own mailing lists within qmail's address | |
13 | hierarchy. A user, Joe, types | |
14 | . | |
15 | ezmlm-make ~/SOS ~/.qmail-sos joe-sos isp.net | |
16 | . | |
17 | and instantly has a functioning mailing list, joe-sos@isp.net, with all | |
18 | relevant information stored in a new ~/SOS directory. | |
19 | . | |
20 | ezmlm sets up joe-sos-subscribe and joe-sos-unsubscribe for automatic | |
21 | processing of subscription and unsubscription requests. Any message to | |
22 | joe-sos-subscribe will work; Joe doesn't have to explain any tricky | |
23 | command formats. ezmlm will send back instructions if a subscriber sends | |
24 | a message to joe-sos-request or joe-sos-help. | |
25 | . | |
26 | ezmlm automatically archives new messages. Messages are labelled with | |
27 | sequence numbers; a subscriber can fetch message 123 by sending mail to | |
28 | joe-sos-get.123. The archive format supports fast message retrieval even | |
29 | when there are thousands of messages. | |
30 | . | |
31 | ezmlm takes advantage of qmail's VERPs to reliably determine the | |
32 | recipient address and message number for every incoming bounce message. | |
33 | It waits ten days and then sends the subscriber a list of message | |
34 | numbers that bounced. If that warning bounces, ezmlm sends a probe; if | |
35 | the probe bounces, ezmlm automatically removes the subscriber from the | |
36 | mailing list. | |

41 | ezmlm-idx (>= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends} | |
42 | Description: An easy-to-use, high-speed mailing list manager for qmail. | |
43 | This is a CGI program which lets users browse ezmlm mailing list | |
44 | archives. | |
45 | . | |
46 | The documentation recommends installing this program setuid-root; this | |
47 | package does NOT do this. Instead, make your list archives readable | |
48 | by the web server user. |
