4. More information.4.1 More about ezmlm and ezmlm-idx.Ezmlm is a mailing list manager written by Dan J. Bernstein. Ezmlm-idx is an extension to ezmlm written by Frederik P. Lindberg. Ezmlm has the essential features of a mailing list manager. Ezmlm-idx adds useful, but non-essential features like digests, list moderation, etc. The list owner will have made the trade off of features vs. increased size and complexity. To test if your list has ezmlm-idx installed, send a message tolist-get@host where ``list@host'' is the name of the list. A list
with ezmlm alone will send you a help message saying that your message
wasn't sent to one of its command addresses. A list with ezmlm-idx will
return one or more messages from the archive, or a message telling you
that the list is not archived.
Throughout
this manual, features available only with ezmlm-idx are marked with ``(*)''.
