6. Emulating other mailing list managers(*).6.1 Global ezmlm commands (majordomo, listserv, listproc).These mailing list managers use a central address. The command is in the message body. The ezmlm-reject(1) (*) program can be configured to answer request at a standard address of a computer. Usually, ''listserv@host'' or ''majordomo@host'' will be used.
Here, ezmlm-request understands most basic commands of other mailing list
managers, as long as the functionality is relevant to ezmlm. Ezmlm will
interpret the first line of the message body as a command (to emulate
other mailing list managers). You need to send one message per command.
The command ``lists'' will give you a list of available mailing
lists with a short description. The command ``which'' will tell
you which lists you are subscribed to. This will work only for list
configured by the system administrator. Naturally, you can use the ``ezmlm
way'' to put the commands into the address with a message to e.g. listserv-lists@host. You can
send basic commands for most mailing list managers to this address. Ezmlm
will translate them into command messages to the individual lists. If only
the local name of the list is specified, ezmlm will find the host part in
its configured list. For instance ``subscribe fishing'' will
subscribe you to the fishing@wildlife.org list,
assuming that that list was in the reply to the ``lists''
command. Please see the ezmlm FAQ and ezmlm-request(1)
man page for more information on how to set up and use this interface.
6.2 Commands at the If the ezmlm-make ``-q'' switch is used to set
up/edit the list, ezmlm-make configures ezmlm-request(1)
