.SH DESCRIPTION
24 
.I Mlmgr
25 
creates and updates unmoderated mailing lists.
26 
The
27 
.B -c
28 
option creates mail directories for both
29 
.I listname
30 
and
31 
.IB listname -owner\f1,\fP
32 
each containing a
33 
.B pipeto
34 
file.
35 
Messages mailed to
36 
.I listname
37 
are sent to all members of the mailing list.
38 
Any
39 
.B Reply-to:
40 
and
41 
.B Precedence:
42 
fields are
43 
removed from the messages and new ones are added
44 
directing replies to
45 
.I listname
46 
and specifying bulk precedence.  The envelope address for
47 
error replies is set to
48 
.BR /dev/null .
49 
.PP
50 
The mailing list membership is the file
51 
.BR /mail/box/\fIlistname\fP/address-list .
52 
This file is an add/remove log.  Each line
53 
represents a single address.  Lines beginning
54 
with a hash
55 
.RB ( # )
56 
are comments.
57 
Lines beginning with an exclamation point
58 
.RB ( ! )
59 
are removals.
60 
All other lines are additions.
61 
.PP
62 
Addition and removal entries can be appended using the
63 
.B -a
64 
and
65 
.B -r
66 
options to
67 
.IR mlmgr .
68 
However, they are normally appended as a consequence of
69 
user requests.
70 
.PP
71 
To be added or removed from the list, a user
72 
may send a message to
73 
.IB listname -owner
74 
containing a key word in
75 
the header or body.  The key words are:
76 
.IP
77 
subscribe - add my
78 
.B From:
79 
address to the list
80 
.IP
81 
remove - remove my
82

84 
.IP
85 
unsubscribe - remove my
86 
.B From:
87 
address from the list
88 
.PP

Addition and removal events cause notification messages to
90 
be sent to the added/removed address.   In the case of
91 
addition, the message describes how to be removed.
