The following values are supported: Alias E-mail addresses for this alias ----- ------------------------------- auxiliary An alias for each sublist in the "sublists" setting. moderator LIST-moderator owner LIST-owner request LIST-request resend LIST subscribe LIST-subscribe subscribe-digest LIST-subscribe-digest subscribe-digest-all An alias for each digest in the "digests" setting. subscribe-each LIST-subscribe-each subscribe-nomail LIST-subscribe-nomail subscribe-unique LIST-subscribe-unique unsubscribe LIST-unsubscribe Currently, the owner, request, and resend aliases are mandatory. After the value of this setting has been changed, the createlist-regen command must be run to recreate the aliases. Aliases are e-mail addresses to which people send messages. Each alias has a special purpose. The auxiliary alias ------------------- If the 'auxiliary' flag in the "configset aliases" is used, an alias will be created for each auxiliary list. For example, to reach the "testers" sublist of the mj2-dev list, a message could be sent to the (fictitious) address mj2-dev-testers@csf.colorado.edu Without the 'auxiliary' flag, the "post" command is the only way to send messages to a sublist. Only auxiliary lists explicitly mentioned in the "sublists" configuration setting are given aliases (see "help configset_sublists" for more details). See "help auxiliary_list" for an introduction to auxiliary lists. The moderator alias ------------------- Mail sent to the LIST-moderator address will be delivered to the moderators of a mailing list. The owner alias --------------- Mail sent to the LIST-owner address will be delivered to the owners of a mailing list. The request alias ----------------- What happens to mail sent to the LIST-request alias depends upon the GLOBAL request_answer setting and the list-specific request_response file, as indicated by the following table: request_answer result -------------- ----------------------------------------- majordomo message is parsed for commands (default) owner message is forwarded to the list owners anything else the request_response file is sent back. The resend alias ---------------- This alias is the address of the mailing list itself. Mail sent to this address will be delivered to the list's subscribers. The subscribe and unsubscribe aliases ------------------------------------- Mail messages sent to the LIST-subscribe, LIST-unsubscribe, and related aliases are treated specially by Majordomo. The bodies of the messages are ignored. Majordomo will attempt to subscribe or unsubscribe the address that appears in the "From:" header of the message. The special extensions of the subscribe alias refer to the delivery class of the new subscriber. For example, a subscription made through the LIST-subscribe-nomail address would start in the "nomail" delivery class. See "help set" for a detailed description of delivery classes.
