- [ comp.sources.unix note -- this is really 3.0.3, but this announcement text
- has not been updated by the author. --vix ]
-
- Newsgroups: comp.mail.misc
- Subject: Announcement: TULP 3.0.1 (mailing list manager) for Unix
- Summary: TULP is a listserv-like application running on Unix stations
-
- The Unix Listserv Program - TULP
-
- Version 3.0.1 - November 1992
-
-
- TULP is a mailing-lists manager. It implements a subset of the commands of
- the well known LISTSERV, used mainly in the Bitnet world. It can also be
- used, in a very limited manner, as a mail-server for text archives.
-
- This version brings many improvements to the 2.00 released last June (see
- below).
-
- TULP allows an easy management of mailing-lists. Once their are created by
- the TULP-manager, users can subscribe, signoff, get the list of
- subscribers, or retrieve past articles by sending mail to an automatic
- sofware, typically listserv@node.dom.ain. The implemented commands are
- really close to the syntax used on Bitnet-Listserv running on IBM
- mainframes. Note that there is *no* connection between the original
- listserv running on IBM mainframes and TULP.
-
- Each list can have several attributes:
-
- + Multiple list status: public, private, moderated.
-
- + List of owners an an editor.
-
- + Mutliple "review" status: public, private, owners.
-
- + Multiple subscription schemes: public, owners, closed.
-
- + Messages numbering (optional).
-
- + Messages archival (on a monthly basis, optional).
-
- TULP is interfaced with the Sendmail MTA in the released version but it
- should also be easily adaptable to other mail transport agents.
-
- TULP has successfully been tested and is currently already in production
- under following systems:
-
- AIX 3.1 & 3.2
- A/UX 3
- HP-UX 8.0
- SunOS 4.1
- SVR4 3.0
-
- TULP is distributed under the GNU General Public License.
-
- The package is available by anonymous ftp at several places. If you
- decide to put the package and its updates available by anonymous ftp,
- please drop me a note so that I can add your site name to the documentation.
