- ; Mercury/32 template file.
- ; Mercury Mail Transport System, Copyright 1993-2001, David Harris.
- ;
- ; This file is used as the default template by Mercury when constructing
- ; Subscription Confirmation messages. You can edit this template using any
- ; text editor. Lines beginning with a ';', like this one, are comments and
- ; are ignored: all other lines are written into the message. You can place
- ; special markers in the body of the template, which Mercury will replace
- ; with information about the list: these markers consist of the two special
- ; characters ~p followed by a single digit identifying the piece of
- ; information you want substituted. The following substitutions are possible
- ; in this template file:
- ;
- ; ~p0 The list's basic name (i.e, what appears to the left of the '@')
- ; ~p1 This system's hostname
- ; ~p2 The full title for the mailing list
- ; ~p3 The address of the mailing list's primary moderator
- ; ~p4 The confirmation ID string for this request
- ; ~p5 The subscriber's address
- ; ~p6 The subscriber's "personal name"
- ;
- Your request to subscribe to the mailing list '~p0' at
- ~p1 has been received by the automated mail server.
-
- This list operates a policy of subscription confirmation - in order to
- activate your subscription you must send a confirmation message back to
- the mail server. This is typically done to reduce the amount of unwanted
- mail reaching the list, and to ensure that all subscribed addresses are
- at least initially reachable.
-
- To confirm your subscription to the list, you must reply to this
- message, and write the two letters "OK" on their own as the first line
- of the reply. The remainder of the reply will be ignored. Please note
- that you must *reply* to this message - the text of the subject line
- must be preserved, although it doesn't matter if your mail program adds
- "Re" or a similar string before the subject text.
-
- You have 48 hours in which to confirm your subscription - after that,
- your request will expire, and you will need to send a new subscription
- request. Your subscription to the list will be activated as soon as
- the mail server receives your confirmation.
