   7 Package: ezmlm-idx
   8 Architecture: any
   9 Depends: qmail (>= 1.03), ${shlibs:Depends}
  10 Provides: ezmlm
  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.

  38 Package: ezmlm-cgi
  39 Architecture: any
  40 Depends: qmail (>= 1.03), httpd,
  41  ezmlm-idx (>= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends}
  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.
