NAME

ezmlm-unsub - manually remove addresses from a mailing list

SYNOPSIS

ezmlm-unsub [ -HmMnNvV ] [ -h hash ] dir [ subdir ] [ box@domain [ name ] ... ]

DESCRIPTION

ezmlm-unsub removes each address box@domain from the mailing list stored in dir/subdir. name is added as a comment to the subscription log, if the -n switch is used.

If no argument is given on the command line, ezmlm-unsub will process standard input instead.

If box@domain is not on the mailing list, ezmlm-unsub keeps it off.

ezmlm-unsub converts domain to lowercase before removing box@domain from the mailing list.

GENERAL OPTIONS

-h hash: With SQL support, the argument is used as the hash. The argument should be between 1 and 99. The hash is used in in the distribution of addresses between sublists. As the hash is normally between 0 and 52, controlling the hash makes it possible to add addresses that cannot be manipulated remotely.
-H: (Default.) The address can be removed if it has a hash in the normal range (0..52). Only used by SQL subscriber databases.
-m: (Default.) Use the configured subscriber database for the list.
-M: Use the standard subscriber database even if the list was configured to use another plugin. This is equivalent to specifying -S std.
-n: Assume arguments are pairs of box@domain and name (or other subscriber info) rather than addresses alone. ezmlm-unsub(1) will remove the first argument in each pair from the subscriber list. If it is a new address, name will be added to the subscription log.
-N: (Default.) Arguments are all addresses of the type box@domain.
-S subdb: Connect to the given subscriber database plugin. This option can be used to manipulate alternate subscriber databases. The contents of the parameter should be the same as would be given to ezmlm-make -6. Use in combination with ezmlm-list(1) to convert an SQL address db to a ezmlm standard address database.
-v: Display ezmlm-unsub(1) version information.
-V: Display ezmlm-unsub(1) version information.
