| 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. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | |
| 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. |
