Creating a Mailing List

To setup a mailing list on csoft.net, CubeSoft suggests that you use ezmlm. The man page for ezmlm-make describes how to create a mailing list; however, its description for how to setup a mailing list using a virtual domain is incorrect.

The correct syntax is the following:

Where the items in italics mean the following.

options

These are the options mentioned in man page for ezmlm-make.

dir

This is the directory where information about the mailing list is to be stored. This should not be a directory that contains any other information.

vsld

This is the second level domain of you virtual domain. For instance, if your virtual domain is "spameater.com" then this value is "spameater".

vtld

This is the top level domain of you virtual domain. For instance, if your virtual domain is "spameater.com" then this value is "com".

listname

This is the name of your mailing list.

vdomain

This is yoor virtual domain. From the example above, this would be "spameater.com".

After you establish your mailing list, users can subscribe to by sending an email to listname-subscribe@vdomain. Continuing the examples above, this would be listname@spameater.com.
