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

567This is a generic help message. The message I received wasn't sent to
568any of my command addresses.
569
570Here is a list of the command addresses supported:
571
572Send mail to the following for info and FAQ for this list:
573 <<#L#>-info@<#H#>>
574 <<#L#>-faq@<#H#>>
575
576</#dE/>
577Similar addresses exist for the digest list:
578 <<#L#>-digest-subscribe@<#H#>>
579 <<#L#>-digest-unsubscribe@<#H#>>
580
581# ezmlm-make -i needed to add ezmlm-get line. If not, we can't do
582# multi-get!
583</#aE/>
584To get messages 123 through 145 (a maximum of 100 per request), mail:
585 <<#L#>-get.123_145@<#H#>>
586
587To get an index with subject and author for messages 123-456, mail:
588 <<#L#>-index.123_456@<#H#>>
589
590To receive all messages with the same subject as message 12345,
591send an empty message to:
592 <<#L#>-thread.12345@<#H#>>
593
594</#E/>
595The messages do not really need to be empty, but I will ignore
596their content. Only the ADDRESS you send to is important.
597
598You can start a subscription for an alternate address,
599for example "john@host.domain", just add a hyphen and your
600address (with '=' instead of '@') after the command word:
601 <<#L#>-subscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
602
603To stop subscription for this address, mail:
604 <<#L#>-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
605
606</text/mod-help#E/>
607Thank you for agreeing to moderate the <#L#>@<#H#>
608mailing list.
609
610My commands are a little different from other mailing lists,
611but I think you will find them intuitive and easy to use.
612
613Here are some instructions for the tasks you may have to perform
614as a list-owner and/or moderator.
615
616General list instructions follow at the end of this message.
617
618Remote subscription
619-------------------
620As a moderator, you can subscribe and unsubscribe any address to
621the mailing list. To subscribe "john@host.domain", simply put
622a hyphen after the command word, then his address with '=' instead
623of the '@'. For instance, to subscribe that address, send mail to:
624 <<#L#>-subscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
625
626You can similarly remove the address by sending a message to:
627 <<#L#>-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
628
629</#dE/>
630For the digest list:
631 <<#L#>-digest-subscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
632 <<#L#>-digest-unsubscribe-john=host.domain@<#H#>>
633
634</#E/>
635That's all. No subject and no message body needed!
636
637</#rE/>
638I will send you a confirmation request, to make sure
639that you really sent the request. Simply reply to the
640message, and your wish has been granted.
641</#RE/>
642I will send a confirmation request to the user address, in this
643case <john@host.domain>. All the user has to do is to reply to
644this confirmation request message.
645</#E/>
646
647The confirmations are necessary to make it extremely hard
648for a third party to add or remove an address to the list.
649
650I will notify the user when his/her subscriber status
651has changed.
652
653Subscription
654------------
655
656Any user can subscribe or unsubscribe by sending mail to:
657
658 <<#L#>-subscribe@<#H#>>
659 <<#L#>-unsubscribe@<#H#>>
660
661</#dE/>
662For the digest list:
663
664 <<#L#>-digest-subscribe@<#H#>>
665 <<#L#>-digest-unsubscribe@<#H#>>
666
667</#E/>
668The user will receive a confirmation request to make
669sure s/he controls the subscription address. Once this
670is verified the user is unsubscribed.
671
672</#sE/>
673Since this list is moderated for subscriptions, I will send a
674second confirmation request to the moderator(s). Since the user
675has already confirmed the desire to be on the list, you as the
676moderator can be highly confident that the subscriber address is
677real. If you want to approve the users request, simply reply to
678my CONFIRM message. If not, you can simply delete my message or
679possibly contact the potential subscriber for more information.
680</#SE/>
681Subscriptions work the same way.
682</#E/>
683
684The user can also use:
685
686 <<#L#>-subscribe-mary=host.domain@<#H#>>
687 <<#L#>-unsubscribe-mary=host.domain@<#H#>>
688
689to have mail sent to "mary@host.domain". Only if she receives mail
690at this address will she receive the confirmation request and be
691able to reply to it.
692
693Your address and identity will not be revealed to the subscriber,
694unless you send mail directly to the user.
695
696</#rlE/>
697To get a subscriber list for <#L#>@<#H#>, send a message to:
698 <<#L#>-list@<#H#>>
699
700To get a list transaction log <#L#>@<#H#>, send a message to:
701 <<#L#>-log@<#H#>>
702
703</#rldE/>
704For digest subscribers:
705 <<#L#>-digest-list@<#H#>>
706and:
707 <<#L#>-digest-log@<#H#>>
708
709</#rnE/>
710You can remotely edit the text files that make up the responses the
711list sends out. To get a list of files and editing instructions, mail:
712 <<#L#>-edit@<#H#>>
713
714</#mE/>
715Moderated posts
716---------------
717When posts are moderated, I will save the posted message and send
718you a copy together with instructions. The message to you will
719have "MODERATE for ..." as the subject.
720
721To accept the post, just reply to the 'Reply-To:', which I have
722configured with the correct "accept" address address. You do not need
723to include the post itself. In fact, I will ignore anything you send
724me as long as the address you send to is correct.
725
726If you want to reject it, send mail to the 'From:' address, which
727I have configured with the correct "reject" address. This can
728usually be done by 'reply-to-all', then deleting any address other
729than the "reject" address. You may add a comment to the sender between
730two lines starting with three '%'. I will send only this comment to the
731sender with the rejected post. Again, I will not reveal your identity.
732
733I will process the message according to the first reply I receive.
734If you send me a request to accept a message that has already been
735rejected or vice versa, I will let you know.
736
737If I receive no moderator replies within a certain period of
738time (normally 5 days), I will return the message to the sender
739with an explanation of what happened. Your administrator can also
740set up the list so that such "ignored" messages are simply deleted
741without notification, rather than returned to sender.
742</#E/>
743
744Vacations
745---------
746If you are temporarily at a different address, just forward all messages
747that have the correct 'Mailing-List:' header (or all that have subjects
748starting with 'MODERATE for <#L#>@<#H#>'
749or 'CONFIRM subscribe to <#L#>@<#H#>') to the
750new address. You can then moderate from the new address. Alternatively,
751you can forward the messages to a friend so that s/he can moderate
752for you. Please OK this with the list owner first.
753
754If you would like to automatically approve all requests while you
755are gone, set up you mail client to auto-reply to messages that
756have subjects meeting the above criteria.
757
758</#rE/>
759If you try to do remote administration from an address that is not
760your own, the subscriber, not you, will be asked to confirm. After
761that, a moderator confirm request is sent to all moderators.
762I'm doing this because I have no way of knowing that it is you that
763sent the original request.
764
765Please note that your original request (and your address) are sent to
766the subscriber in this case!
767</#E/>
768
769Good luck!
770
771PS: Please contact the list owner (<#L#>-owner@<#H#>) if you
772have any questions or problems.

888The most common reason for invalid numbers is expiration. I have to

1031To see what address you used to subscribe, look at the messages you are
1032receiving from the mailing list. Each message has your address hidden

1049your request and is not a subscriber of this list.
1050
1051If you unsubscribe, but continue to receive mail, you're subscribed
1052under a different address than the one you currently use.
1053Please look at the header for:
1054
1055'Return-Path: <<#l#>-return-1234-user=host.dom@<#H#>>'
1056
1057This shows that the subscription address is ``user@host.dom''.
1058The unsubscribe address for this user would be:
1059'<#l#>-unsubscribe-user=host.dom@<#H#>'.
1060
1061Just mail to that address, adjusted for the real subscription address.
1062
1063If the message has a ``List-Unsubscribe:'' header, you can send
1064a message to the address in that header. It contains the subscription
1065already coded into it.
1066
1067For some mail programs, you need to make the headers visible to
1068see the return path:
1069
1070For Eudora 4.0, click on the "Blah blah ..." button.
1071For PMMail, click on "Window->Show entire message/header".
1072
1073If this still doesn't work, I'm sorry to say that I can't help you.
1074Please FORWARD a list message together with a note about what you're
1075trying to achieve and a list of addresses that you might be subscribed
1076under to my owner:
