ezmlm Mailing List Manager Tricks

Retaining list settings using ezmlm-make

By default, if you run ezmlm-make on an existing ezmlm directory, it resets all of the existing settings to the default (turns off digests, prefixes, moderation, trailers etc...).

If you want it to retain all existing settings, you need to pass -+ as the first argument to ezmlm-make. That is, run ezmlm-make -+ [options] [dir], rather than ezmlm [options] [dir].

Printing an ezmlm subscription list

The command ezmlm-list [dir] prints subscribed email addresses, one per line.

Making an ezmlm list announcement-only
