Lyris

The Lyris Server Address

To determine the Lyris Server address for your Site, take the host name you created for that Site, and prepend "lyris@" to it. For example, if your Site's host name is minerva.acme.com, your Lyris Server address is lyris@minerva.acme.com.

With Lyris, you have the option of several different kinds of command syntaxes. Wherever possible, Lyris was made to be compatible with the command syntaxes of other list server programs, so that users can use the command they are familiar with, and are not required to learn something new.

In an effort to ease the transition for users, Lyris will accept mail at the following addresses and understand the mail as list server commands:
list@hostname
listproc@hostname
lists@hostname
listserv@hostname
listserve@hostname
listserver@hostname
majordomo@hostname
procmail@hostname
listname-request@hostname

The last format, listname-request@hostname deserves special attention.

listname-request commands

When commands are sent to this address, all the same commands work, but the listname is no longer needed in the command. For instance, one command to subscribe to a mailing list is:
subscribe listname

That command syntax will work for any of the List Server addresses. However, if the command is sent to listname-request, such as jazz-request@minerva.acme.com, this command is enough, since the list name is clear from the mailing address:
subscribe

Note that all List Server Address syntaxes work fine when sent to the listname-request address.
