  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.
