.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Mlmgr
creates and updates unmoderated mailing lists.
The
.B -c
option creates mail directories for both
.I listname
and
.IB listname -owner\f1,\fP
each containing a
.B pipeto
file.
Messages mailed to
.I listname
are sent to all members of the mailing list.
Any
.B Reply-to:
and
.B Precedence:
fields are
removed from the messages and new ones are added
directing replies to
.I listname
and specifying bulk precedence. The envelope address for
error replies is set to
.BR /dev/null .
.PP
The mailing list membership is the file
.BR /mail/box/\fIlistname\fP/address-list .
This file is an add/remove log. Each line
represents a single address. Lines beginning
with a hash
.RB ( # )
are comments.
Lines beginning with an exclamation point
.RB ( ! )
are removals.
All other lines are additions.
.PP
Addition and removal entries can be appended using the
.B -a
and
.B -r
options to
.IR mlmgr .
However, they are normally appended as a consequence of
user requests.
.PP
To be added or removed from the list, a user
may send a message to
.IB listname -owner
containing a key word in
the header or body. The key words are:
.IP
subscribe - add my
.B From:
address to the list
.IP
remove - remove my
.B From:
address from the list
.IP
unsubscribe - remove my
.B From:
address from the list
.PP
Addition and removal events cause notification messages to
be sent to the added/removed address. In the case of
addition, the message describes how to be removed.
.PP
.I Ml
and
.I mlowner
are the programs that receive messages for
.I listname
and
.IB listname -owner
respectively.
Appropriate calls to them are inserted in the
.B pipeto
files created by
.IR mlmgr .
.PP
.IR Ml 's
.B -r
option
sets the
.B Reply-to:
field in the mail sent out by
.I ml.
