| 10 | |
| 11 | Like any other piece of software (and information generally), ezmlm-idx |
| 12 | comes with NO WARRANTY. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | This is an addition and patch to ezmlm-0.53 [(c) Dan J. Bernstein]. |
| 15 | Ezmlm-idx uses Dan's libraries and heavily relies on ezmlm-0.53 code. |
| 16 | ezmlm-idx does not function without ezmlm-0.53. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | ezmlm-0.53 provides basic message distribution, subscriber address handling, |
| 19 | message archiving (single quoted message retrieval only), and bounce |
| 20 | handling. ezmlm-idx adds multi-message threaded archive retrieval, digests, |
| 21 | remote administration, message and subscription moderation, subscriber-only |
| 22 | restrictions, message trailer, subject prefix, subscriber name storage, |
| 23 | customizable setup, multi-language and MIME support and more. In addition, |
| 24 | improved bounce handling, case-insensitive subscriber address storage, |
| 25 | and support for distributed lists (main + sublist transparent to the |
| 26 | subscriber). Ezmlm-idx can now be compiled with MySQL or Postgres support. |
| 27 | |

| 38 | NOTE: Some ezmlmrc translations may not be up-to-date. ezmlm-make will |
| 39 | complain and the results may not match the documentation. Changes required |

| 41 | in the next ezmlm-idx version. |

| 44 | move it to a cgi-bin directory, set ownership and SUID (if needed), and |
| 45 | set up /ezmlm/ezcgirc. |
