✨ NAME ✨

Mailman — Mailing list server binary. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay bestie, listen. Here's literally how you invoke her:

       inject,lists,members,qfile,remove,reopen,restart,

The GNU Mailman mailing list management system. Copyright 1998-2017 by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. http://www.list.org 🫶

🎀 optional arguments 🎀

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. iconic behaviour honestly.
• -v, --version — prints this version string and exits. short, sweet, slays.
• -C CONFIG, --config CONFIG — the configuration file to use. If you don't hand one over, the environment variable MAILMAN_CONFIG_FILE gets consulted and used if it's set. If neither of those exist? a default configuration file gets loaded. no stress, she's got you. 💅
