MLMGR(1)                    General Commands Manual                   MLMGR(1)



NAME
       ml, mlmgr, mlowner -  unmoderated mailing lists

SYNOPSIS
       upas/mlmgr -c listname

       upas/mlmgr -ar listname address

       upas/ml [ -r replyto-address ] addressfile listname

       upas/mlowner addressfile listname

DESCRIPTION
       Mlmgr  creates  and  updates  unmoderated mailing lists.  The -c option
       creates mail directories for both  listname  and  listname-owner,  each
       containing  a pipeto file.  Messages mailed to listname are sent to all
       members of the mailing list.  Any Reply-to: and Precedence: fields  are
       removed  from  the messages and new ones are added directing replies to
       listname and specifying bulk precedence.  The envelope address for  er‐
       ror replies is set to /dev/null.

       The  mailing  list  membership  is the file /mail/box/listname/address-
       list.  This file is an add/remove log.  Each line represents  a  single
       address.   Lines  beginning with a hash (#) are comments.  Lines begin‐
       ning with an exclamation point (!)  are removals.  All other lines  are
       additions.

       Addition  and  removal  entries can be appended using the -a and -r op‐
       tions to mlmgr.  However, they are normally appended as  a  consequence
       of user requests.

       To  be  added  or  removed  from the list, a user may send a message to
       listname-owner containing a key word in the header or  body.   The  key
       words are:

              subscribe - add my From: address to the list

              remove - remove my From: address from the list

              unsubscribe - remove my From: address from the list

       Addition  and  removal events cause notification messages to be sent to
       the added/removed address.   In the case of addition, the  message  de‐
       scribes how to be removed.

       Ml  and mlowner are the programs that receive messages for listname and
       listname-owner respectively.  Appropriate calls to them are inserted in
       the pipeto files created by mlmgr.

       Ml's -r option sets the Reply-to: field in the mail sent out by ml.
