fml 3.0 basic configuration
See the following url for more details of fml installation.
../../INSTALL-e/index.html
Let "elena" mailing list. In default
ML maintainer ($MAINTAINER) add and remove member list explicitly
It is most safe.
* create the mailing list
% makefml newml elena
% makefml add elena your@address
% su
# cat /var/spool/ml/elena/aliases >> /etc/aliases
# newaliases
# exit
* test
% echo test |Mail elena@your.domain
* add a new comer
% makefml add elena someone@some.where
* remove a user
% makefml bye elena someone@some.where
* add a lot of addresses
It is better to edit files $MEMBER_LIST and $ACTIVE_LIST
1. Firstly lock ML (here 120 seconds).
% makefml lock elena 120 &
2. edit
% cd /var/spool/ml/elena
% $EDITOR members
% $EDITOR actives
The format is one address at one line.
NOTE: What is members and actives ?
fml uses two different files for address lists. The two file is
"actives" and "members" in /var/spool/ml/elena.
actives recipient list
members member list who can post and use commands
Generally speaking, members is bigger than actives since members may
contain addresses he/she can post from but not receive at.
