| 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. |

| 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. |
