SmartList QuickStart
====================

* If you are using exim4, read README.exim4 first.

* If not, make "list" a "trusted user" for your MTA.

Then, to create mailing lists, you have to do the following:

*) Execute these commands:

cd /var/list
su list
.bin/createlist <listname>

*) add these lines to /etc/aliases:

<listname>: "|/var/list/.bin/flist <listname>"
<listname>-request: "|/var/list/.bin/flist <listname>-request"

where <listname> is the name of the list (for example, `debian-user').

*) Customize your list by editing /var/list/<listname>/rc.custom.
In particular, uncomment and define the X_COMMAND_PASSWORD line, so
that you will be the only person allowed to maintain the list remotely.

*) If your list is moderated, don't forget to define a suitable value
for the moderator_PASSWORD variable in rc.custom.

*) run newaliases.

*) zless Manual.gz, this was only a QuickStart :-)

While reading the manual(s), please note that the Debian version of
smartlist (i.e. this package) by default uses symlinks from the lists
directories to the .etc and .bin directories instead of hardlinks.
This is so that dpkg can update the conffiles in .etc properly when
the package is upgraded without creating a real mess.
