20.17.1 ProblemYou need to know the basic list-maintenance commands, such as those for manually unsubscribing a user, viewing subscriber information, and setting list options. 20.17.2 SolutionThis command reference covers basic list chores. To manually unsubscribe a user, use: $ couriermlm unsub /var/lists/php_list lori@test.net To generate a subscriber list, use: $ couriermlm export /var/lists/php_list > php_subscribers.txt Use the following command to restore the subscriber list from a file, if it is ever damaged or lost: $ couriermlm import php_subscribers.txt To post a message to the whole list, use: $ couriermlm msg /var/lists/php_list To display a single subscriber's record, use: $ couriermlm info /var/lists/php_list dancer@test.net This command sets the list as moderated, so that all posts must be reviewed by the list admin before they are posted. Posts waiting for approval sit in the /var/lists/php_list/modqueue folder: $ couriermlm set /var/lists/php_list POST=mod The default is to allow only subscribers to post. You can open the list to the world: $ couriermlm set /var/lists/php_list POST=all By default, all messages are archived, and anyone can view them. This command purges archives after seven days and limits access to subscribers: $ couriermlm set /var/lists/php_list PURGEARCHIVE=7 POSTARCHIVE=subscribers This also shows how list options can be grouped into a single command. 20.17.3 DiscussionOnce a list is set up and running, there's not much to do except keep an eye on your users. Watch for flamewars and spammers. It is good to have a list policy, with clear rules about behavior. Put this in sub2.tmpl, so that all new subscribers see it. 20.17.4 See Also
