Source: ezmlm-idx Section: mail Priority: extra Standards-Version: 3.1.1 Maintainer: Mark Wooding Package: ezmlm-idx Architecture: any Depends: qmail (>= 1.03), ${shlibs:Depends} Provides: ezmlm Description: An easy-to-use, high-speed mailing list manager for qmail. ezmlm lets users set up their own mailing lists within qmail's address hierarchy. A user, Joe, types . ezmlm-make ~/SOS ~/.qmail-sos joe-sos isp.net . and instantly has a functioning mailing list, joe-sos@isp.net, with all relevant information stored in a new ~/SOS directory. . ezmlm sets up joe-sos-subscribe and joe-sos-unsubscribe for automatic processing of subscription and unsubscription requests. Any message to joe-sos-subscribe will work; Joe doesn't have to explain any tricky command formats. ezmlm will send back instructions if a subscriber sends a message to joe-sos-request or joe-sos-help. . ezmlm automatically archives new messages. Messages are labelled with sequence numbers; a subscriber can fetch message 123 by sending mail to joe-sos-get.123. The archive format supports fast message retrieval even when there are thousands of messages. . ezmlm takes advantage of qmail's VERPs to reliably determine the recipient address and message number for every incoming bounce message. It waits ten days and then sends the subscriber a list of message numbers that bounced. If that warning bounces, ezmlm sends a probe; if the probe bounces, ezmlm automatically removes the subscriber from the mailing list. Package: ezmlm-cgi Architecture: any Depends: qmail (>= 1.03), httpd, ezmlm-idx (>= ${Source-Version}), ${shlibs:Depends} Description: An easy-to-use, high-speed mailing list manager for qmail. This is a CGI program which lets users browse ezmlm mailing list archives. . The documentation recommends installing this program setuid-root; this package does NOT do this. Instead, make your list archives readable by the web server user.
