ezmlmsubrc(5)                                       ezmlmsubrc(5)

NAME
       ezmlmsubrc - set up a minimal sublist

SYNOPSIS
       ezmlm-make -C ezmlmsubrc -options dir dot local host

DESCRIPTION
       ezmlmglrc  instructs ezmlm-make(1) to create dir and files
       within it to support the local@host sublist.  The  sublist
       handles bounces, but not subscriptions. It is intended for
       creation of sublists that are part of an SQL database sup-
       ported  distributed  ezmlm  list.  For creation of regular
       sublists, use ezmlm-make(1) with ezmlmrc(5).

REQUIRED SWITCHES
       While these switches can be omitted,  the  list  will  not
       function unless they are specified.

       -3 mainlocal
              Local  name of the main list for which this list is
              a sublist. If the sublist is a sublist for digests,
              mainlocal  should  refer  to  the  mail  list, i.e.
              stripped of ``-digest''. This is required in  order
              for  the  bounce  texts  to  refer  to  the correct
              archive. Use the -d switch!

       -4 mainhost
              Host name of the main list for which this list is a
              sublist.

       -6 host:port:user:pass:db:table
              SQL  connect  info.  Specifies the host and port to
              connect to, the user/password to use, the  database
              name,  and  the root table name.  The host defaults
              to  ``localhost'',  the  database  and   table   to
              ``ezmlm''.  The port default is the default for the
              particular SQL server type used. For sublists  dis-
              seminating   a   digest,   ``table''  will  end  in
              ``_digest''.

OPTIONS
       -d     This sublist is a sublist of a digest list.  The -3
              argment  used  should be the local name of the main
              list, rather than the digest list, i.e. the  termi-
              nal ``-digest'' should be stripped.

       -5 owner
              The  address  to  which  to  redirect  mail send to
              local-owner@host.  The default is the owner address
              for the main list.

USAGE
       A  common  task  is  to create both a sublist for the main
       list and a sublist for the corresponding digest. Note that

                                                                1

       the  local  list  names  are given as is, whereas the main
       list name always refers to the main list itself  (and  not
       its  digest).  The main list is  ``mainloc@mainhost'', the
       local sublist is ``me-sub1@myhost''; the  main  digest  is
       ``mainloc-digest@mainhost''  and  the local digest sublist
       is ``me-sub1-digest@myhost''.

       ezmlm-make -Cezmlmsubrc -3 mainloc -4  mainhost  -6  main-
       host::user:pw:db:tab ~/DIR ~me/.qmail-sub1 me-sub1 myhost

       ezmlm-make -Cezmlmsubrc -d -3 mainloc -4 mainhost -6 main-
       host::user:pw:db:tab -d ~/DIR  ~me/.qmail-sub1-digest  me-
       sub1-digest myhost
