EXAMPLE:
configset GLOBAL index_access = list

The index_access configuration setting is used to restrict access 
to the index command.  

The following five values are supported:

  open          -  Anyone can use the index command.

  open+password -  Anyone registered at this domain can use the index
                   command if a personal password is supplied.

  list          -  Anyone subscribed to a mailing list can use the
                   index command for that list.

  list+password -  Anyone subscribed to a mailing list can use the
                   index command for that list if a personal password 
                   is supplied.

  closed        -  Only the list administrators can use the index command.

This setting can be overridden by rules for the index command in the 
access_rules configuration setting.

This setting determines who can use the index command to see a 
listing of one or more directories from a list's public file space.

An administrative password can be used to issue the index command,
regardless of the value of this setting.

Any rules in the access_rules setting related to the index command
will take precedence over the value of this setting.
