A valid administrative password is required to use the configset command (see "help admin_passwords" for more details about administrative passwords). In the examples that follow, substitute the name of your mailing list wherever you see the word LISTNAME. Many configuration settings can have only one value at a time. To give a new configuration setting a single value, following the name of the setting with the equals sign and the new value. For example, the following command will change the value of the "moderate" setting to "yes". configset LISTNAME moderate = yes In some cases, it is acceptable to omit the value. For example, the following command will turn off the "moderate" setting: configset LISTNAME moderate = Other configuration settings require a list or table of values. In that case, it is necessary to use a "here document" to specify all of the values (see "help here_document" for more details). For example, the following command will change the value of the "nonmember_flags" setting to two flags, "ackdeny" and "postblock": configset LISTNAME nonmember_flags <<ABCD ackdeny postblock ABCD Not all list-specific settings can be modified by the list owner. Some require the password of a domain or site administrator. By default, these settings include: aliases archive_dir config_access debug delivery_rules priority The "config_access" setting can be used to control the level of authorization needed to see or change a setting. See "help configset_config_access" for details. Each configuration setting has its own help file. For example, to see a description of the "delivery_rules" setting, use the command "help configset_delivery_rules" or "help delivery_rules". If "append" mode is used, the value given in the command is added to the end of the existing value. If a setting requires a blank line between values, such as access_rules and delivery_rules, that line is added automatically. The "append" command mode does not work for settings that do not take more than one value. If "extract" mode is used, the value given in the command is removed from the existing value. If the two values are identical, the setting is changed to its default value. If the two values are not identical, but the extracted value occupies a portion of the lines of the existing value, that portion is removed from the existing value. Otherwise, an error occurs if the values are not identical. If "noforce" mode is used, the configset command will fail if the new and old values are identical. This feature is useful for preventing default values from being overridden by identical new values. There are six settings for which the GLOBAL settings are combined with the list's settings. They include: admin_body admin_headers noarchive_body noarchive_headers taboo_body taboo_headers To see a complete list of configuration settings, use the "help topics" command. See Also: help admin_config help commands (for syntax of all commands, and 'here documents') help configdef (to have the variable track the default value) help configedit (to display/set the variable from a shell prompt) help configshow (to display the variable's current value) help here_document This is the "configset" help document for Majordomo 2, version 0.1201103110. For a list of all help documents, send the following command: help topics in the body of a message to majordomo@openbsd.org.
