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.
