15.3 Commands of other mailinglist managers recognized by ezmlm

15.3.1 Listproc/Listserv

When set up as above, substituting ‘listproc’ or ‘listserv’ for ‘majordomo’ as appropriate, ezmlm will recognize and respond to the following commands placed in the body of the e-mail with the syntax below. Note: ezmlm will only respond to one command per message.

syntax: command listname [subscriber@host]

Supported commands
subscribe, sub, unsubscribe, unsub, list, help, review.
Additional supported commands
All ezmlm commands, such as ‘thread’, ‘index’ and ‘get’ as well as the list owner's commands.

This interfaced makes information available via command messages to the appropriate mailing list. Thus, ‘list’ and ‘review’ will send a subscriber list only to remote administrators and only if specifically allowed by the list owner.

15.3.2 Majordomo

syntax: command listname [subscriber@host]

Supported commands
lists, subscribe, unsubscribe, help, which, who.
Additional supported commands
All ezmlm user and ezmlm owner commands.

This interfaced makes information available via command messages to the appropriate mailing list. Thus, ‘who’ will send a subscriber list only to remote administrators and only if specifically allowed by the list owner.

15.3.3 Smartlist

Unlike ‘listproc/listserv’ or ‘majordomo’, ‘smart-list’ does not provide ‘host-centric’ services. Rather, commands are addressed to ‘listname-request@host’ and the command placed on the ‘Subject:’ line:

     To: listname-request@host
     Subject: command [subscriber@host]

The body of the message is normally ignored. If the subject is empty, the first body line that starts with a letter is interpreted.

Supported commands
subscribe, unsubscribe.
Additional Supported Commands
All ezmlm user and ezmlm owner commands.
