💖 mlmmj-unsub — the unsub bestie 💖

okay so this is the mlmmj-unsub page from the General Commands Manual section, and it's literally your girl for getting someone off a mailinglist run by mlmmj. yes queen, removal era. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

mlmmj-unsub — unsubscribe an address from a mailinglist run by mlmmj 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mlmmj-unsub -L /path/to/list -a john@doe.org [-cCdnNhqrRsUV]

like, that's the whole vibe. path + address + whatever lil switches you want. 🎀

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

• -a email — the email address you're unsubscribing, bestie. who's leaving the group chat.
• -c — send a goodbye mail 💌 (yes, an actual farewell, so dramatic, we love)
• -C — request mail confirmation
• -d — unsubscribe from the digest version of the list
• -h — print help
• -L path — full path to the list directory
• -n — unsubscribe from the nomail version of the list
• -N — unsubscribe from the normal version of the list
• -q — be quiet (don't notify the owner about the unsubscribe) 🤫
• -r — behave as if the request arrived via email (internal use)
• -R — behave as if the confirmation arrived via email (internal use)
• -s — don't send a mail to the address if it's not subscribed
• -U — don't switch to the user id of the listdir owner
• -V — print version

so like, what does this utility actually do? it unsubscribes people from the specified mailinglist. simple. iconic. it will remove the specified email address from every file in the <listdir>/subscribers.d/, <listdir>/digesters.d/ and <listdir>/nomailsubs.d/ directories — or, if you passed the -d, -n or -N switch, only the one relevant directory. no cap, it's thorough. 🧚

unless you use the -U switch, it will switch its user id to the user id owning the list directory. why? so that new files created have the correct permissions. it's giving responsible. it's giving grown-up energy. 🫶

normally a mail is sent to the person being unsubscribed if the address is not subscribed to the list. if you use the -s switch, that mail does not get sent. no surprise mail, no chaos. 🙈

okay important vibe check ⚠️: when neither -c nor -C is specified, the unsubscription happens silently from the point of view of the subscriber. and when -q is specified, it happens silently from the point of view of the list owner. using -s is recommended so you don't spam unsubscribed addresses by accident. fr fr, don't be that person. 💀
