-
- ListManager Release 3
- =====================
-
-
- ListManager is a mailing list tool for the Universal Message System
- (UMS). It does not only easy handling of subscribed mailing lists
- (client mode) but also can serve them (server mode). In both cases
- ListManager works as an news-mail gateway, too.
-
- In client mode ListManager sorts mails from incoming mailing lists
- into local newsgroups (import mode) or sends posting in this
- newsgroups to the corresponding mailinglist (export mode).
-
- In server mode - well - ListManager serves mailing lists. In this case
- it sends all messages received to the subscribers of the mailing
- list, too. Messages are forwarded both from the lists mail account
- and the newsgroup corresponding to the mailing list.
-
-
- ListManager Release 3 is a complete re-write of ListManager.rexx, the
- well know UMS-tool. The re-write has been performed in Oberon-2 to
- ensure further maintainability, since ListManager.rexx has grown to
- complex for a ARexx-script.
-
- IMPORTANT: Some config stuff has been changed, see below for more
- information!
-
- ListManager Release 3 should work the same way as ListManager.rexx
- did, with some enhancements:
-
- - Help and descriptions are now sent as seperate mails.
- - should run much faster
- - Some variables are now parsed via ReadArgs(), see below.
-
- - Access for (un)subcribtion is now checked via UMSMatchPattern(), so
- you can use UMS' mulit-line patterns here. The format of the string
- to be tested has been changed, too (see below).
- - ListManager locks ListManager.Mailinglists so act like a semaphore.
- - please have a look at ListManager.todo for the topics still open
- for this version.
- - group prefix for client mode may be defined in
- ListManager.GroupPrefix
- - ListManger.Server may contain several aliases, see the docs for
- details
- - all messages send by Listmanager will be put into specific folders
-
- ! Some configuration stuff has been changed to ease usage. Thus you
- ! MUST addapt your configuration! UpdateLMConfig.rexx helps you on
- ! this task. Option Test/S will show you the changed to be done,
- ! without actually performing them.
-
- - The config variables Listmanager.Owner and ListManager.<list>.Owner
- have been renamed to Listmanager.Admin and
- ListManager.<list>.Admins.
-
- - The following config variables are now parsed via ReadArgs():
- ListManager.Mailinglist
- ListManager.<list>.Status
- ListManager.<list>.Users
- ListManager.<list>.Admin (was ListManager.<list>.Owner)
- UpdateLMConfig will update your configuration automatically.
-
- - ListManger.Access is now tested with 'name <addr>' (without
- quotes), so you have to change you pattern. This is a non-trivial
- task for a programm, thus UpdateLMConfig does not even try this
- convertion.
