💖 NAME 💖

mlmmj-make-ml — bestie, this is the little script that spins up a mailing list for mlmmj ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

mlmmj-make-ml [-h] [-L listname] [-s spooldir] [-a] [-user] [-z]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk, this one is an interactive script — it literally walks you through it, no cap. It creates the mailing list directory, and like, that is the list, so mlmmj can actually run it. Iconic behavior honestly 👑

Here's the whole menu of flags, and yes we're going through every single one:

  • -h — shows you the help. bless 🙏
  • -L listname — the name of your mailing list 💌
  • -s spooldir — your spool directory. default is /var/spool/mlmmj (yes, that's where she lives by default)
  • -a — creates the entries you need in your /etc/aliases file 🫶
  • -c — the user to chown the spool directory to. default is to not chown at all, so heads up that nothing gets chowned unless you say so
  • -z — does nothing for now 😭 literally nothing, it's just vibing in there
ngl, peep the synopsis: it shows -user while the description down here gives you -c. Not me being the one to notice, but like… 👀 iykyk. Use them exactly as written, bestie.

💅 AUTHORS 💅

💀 BUGS 💀

The way that it's not possible to create a list entirely on the command line 😭 so interactive it stays, fr fr.

and that's the whole thing, bestie!! this page came to you from the Debian crew, dated September 1, 2004, for mlmmj-make-ml(1) 🦋 go make a list and slay 💖✨🎀
