   3 STANDARD EZMLM DATABASE INTERFACE
   4
   5 These files comprise the ezmlm subscriber database interface. issub.c and
   6 subscribe.c are backwards compatible with ezmlm-0.53 in terms of function,
   7 but use a case-insensitive hash for address storage, and take a few
   8 extra args to be plug-in compatible with alternative interfaces. Logging to
   9 the subscriber log (DIR/Log) is done from subscribe.c rather than externally,
  10 and the subscriber from line is logged as well.
  11
  12 searchlog.c allows access to DIR/Log.
  13
  14 putsubs.c does all output of subscriber addresses, both to qmail for subscibers,
  15 moderator sendouts, etc, and to list subscribers in reply to the -list command.
  16
  17 Alternative subscriber db interface routines should perform equivalent services,
  18 and fall back to these services if the alternative interface is not configured,
  19 e.g. if DIR/sql doe not exist.

  25 See SQL-enabled ezmlm list documentation in FAQ.idx for a different
  26 trade-off between these points.
