How to use the Petidomo 2.x mailing list server
|
|
***********************************************
|
|
|
|
Petidomo is an automatic mailing list server, which maintains mailing lists
|
|
without any human interaction. The program understands a set of commands
|
|
which you can use to add yourself to mailing lists, or to remove you from
|
|
lists you are subscribed on. These commands will be explained in the
|
|
following paragraphs:
|
|
|
|
SUBSCRIBE
|
|
The "subscribe" command will add your address to a mailing list.
|
|
Usually sending an e-mail to the server with only this word in the
|
|
body of the mail will do the right thing for you. In case you want
|
|
to subscribe an address not equal to the one you are mailing from,
|
|
you can add this address as parameter to the command, like this:
|
|
|
|
subscribe user@site.domain.net
|
|
|
|
Please note that many list servers to do not allow to subscribe
|
|
other addresses than your own, though, because this feature can be
|
|
abused.
|
|
|
|
UNSUBSCRIBE
|
|
Syntax and usage of the "unsubscribe" command are the same as with
|
|
the "subscribe" command, the purpose is a bit different though:
|
|
Sending this command to the server will remove your address from
|
|
the mailing list.
|
|
|
|
INDEX
|
|
The "index" command does not need any parameters. Sending it to the
|
|
server will get you a list of available mailing lists on this
|
|
server. This is useful in case you want to subscribe to a list but
|
|
can't remember the exact name anymore.
|
|
|
|
HELP
|
|
The "help" command will make the list server send you this file.
|
|
|
|
HELP listname
|
|
If you specify a parameter after the "help" command, the server
|
|
will send you the description of this mailing list back. The
|
|
description usually contains the topic and purpose of the mailing
|
|
list.
|
|
|
|
Commands must begin at the first column on each line in the mail, to
|
|
be recognized. Lines which do not contain a command will be ignored.
