A user, Joe, types + + ezmlm-make ~/SOS ~/.qmail-sos joe-sos isp.net + +and instantly has a functioning mailing list, joe-sos@isp.net, with all +relevant information stored in a new ~/SOS directory. + +ezmlm takes advantage of qmail's VERPs to reliably determine the +recipient address and message number for every incoming bounce message. +It waits ten days and then sends the subscriber a list of message +numbers that bounced. If that warning bounces, ezmlm sends a probe; if +the probe bounces, ezmlm automatically removes the subscriber from the list. + +ezmlm is reliable, even in the face of system crashes. It writes each +new subscription and each new message safely to disk before it reports +success to qmail. + +ezmlm doesn't mind huge mailing lists. Lists don't even have to fit into +memory. ezmlm hashes the subscription list into a set of independent +files so that it can handle subscription requests quickly. ezmlm uses +qmail for blazingly fast parallel SMTP deliveries. |
