NAME

SYNOPSIS
       mlmmj-sub -L /path/to/list -a john@doe.org [-c | -C] [-d | -n] [-h] [-U] [-V]

       -a: Email address to subscribe

       -c: Send welcome mail

       -d: Subscribe to digest version of the list

       -C: Request mail confirmation

       -h: This help

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -m: Subscriber moderation string

       -n: Subscribe to nomail version of the list

DESCRIPTION
       This  utility  is  used	to  subscribe  people to the specified mailinglist. It will write the email address in a file with the name of the
       beginning letter of the email address getting subscribed in the <listdir>/subscribers.d/ directory.

       Unless the -U switch is used it will switch its user id to the user id owning the list directory. This is done to make sure that new  files
       created are having correct permissions.

       The  nomail  version of the list is a list version where people are subscribed like usual, but they won't recieve any postings to the list.
       This is useful for people who read the mailinglist through a news gateway, but want to be able to post to the list.

       Normally a mail is sent to the subscriber if the address is already subscribed to the list. If the -s switch is used such a mail  will  not
       be sent.

       When neither -c nor -C are specified, subscription silently happens.
