ezmlmsubrc(5)ezmlmsubrc(5)NAMEezmlmsubrc - set up a minimal sublist
SYNOPSIS
ezmlm-make -Cezmlmsubrc-options dir dot local host
DESCRIPTION
ezmlmglrc instructs ezmlm-make(1) to create dir and files within it to
support the local@host sublist. The sublist handles bounces, but not
subscriptions. It is intended for creation of sublists that are part of
an SQL database supported distributed ezmlm list. For creation of regu‐
lar sublists, use ezmlm-make(1) with ezmlmrc(5).
REQUIRED SWITCHES
While these switches can be omitted, the list will not function unless
they are specified.
-3 mainlocal
Local name of the main list for which this list is a sublist. If
the sublist is a sublist for digests, mainlocal should refer to
the mail list, i.e. stripped of ``-digest''. This is required in
order for the bounce texts to refer to the correct archive. Use
the -d switch!
-4 mainhost
Host name of the main list for which this list is a sublist.
-6 host:port:user:pass:db:table
SQL connect info. Specifies the host and port to connect to, the
user/password to use, the database name, and the root table
name. The host defaults to ``localhost'', the database and ta‐
ble to ``ezmlm''. The port default is the default for the par‐
ticular SQL server type used. For sublists disseminating a
digest, ``table'' will end in ``_digest''.
OPTIONS-d This sublist is a sublist of a digest list. The -3 argment used
should be the local name of the main list, rather than the
digest list, i.e. the terminal ``-digest'' should be stripped.
-5 owner
The address to which to redirect mail send to local-owner@host.
The default is the owner address for the main list.
USAGE
A common task is to create both a sublist for the main list and a sub‐
list for the corresponding digest. Note that the local list names are
given as is, whereas the main list name always refers to the main list
itself (and not its digest). The main list is ``mainloc@mainhost'',
the local sublist is ``me-sub1@myhost''; the main digest is ``mainloc-
digest@mainhost'' and the local digest sublist is ``me-
sub1-digest@myhost''.
