ezmlm is an easy-to-use, high-speed mailing list manager for qmail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezmlm lets users set up their own mailing lists within qmail's address
|
||
|
|
hierarchy. A user, Joe, types
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezmlm-make ~/SOS ~/.qmail-sos joe-sos isp.net
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
and instantly has a functioning mailing list, joe-sos@isp.net, with all
|
||
|
|
relevant information stored in a new ~/SOS directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezmlm takes advantage of qmail's VERPs to reliably determine the
|
||
|
|
recipient address and message number for every incoming bounce message.
|
||
|
|
It waits ten days and then sends the subscriber a list of message
|
||
|
|
numbers that bounced. If that warning bounces, ezmlm sends a probe; if
|
||
|
|
the probe bounces, ezmlm automatically removes the subscriber from the list.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezmlm is reliable, even in the face of system crashes. It writes each
|
||
|
|
new subscription and each new message safely to disk before it reports
|
||
|
|
success to qmail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ezmlm doesn't mind huge mailing lists. Lists don't even have to fit into
|
||
|
|
memory. ezmlm hashes the subscription list into a set of independent
|
||
|
|
files so that it can handle subscription requests quickly. ezmlm uses
|
||
|
|
qmail for blazingly fast parallel SMTP deliveries.
