Keywords: NONE TITLE,fml, flexible mailing list manager, not listserv style but fmlserv emulates listserv or majordomo style

    	fml 3.0 basic configuration

See the following url for more details of fml installation. ../../INSTALL-e/index.html

    Let "elena" mailing list. In default

       ML maintainer ($MAINTAINER) add and remove member list explicitly

    It is most safe.

    * create the mailing list
    % makefml newml elena
    % makefml add elena your@address
    % su
    # cat /var/spool/ml/elena/aliases >> /etc/aliases
    # newaliases
    # exit

    * test

    % echo test |Mail elena@your.domain

    * add a new comer

    % makefml add elena someone@some.where

    * remove a user

    % makefml bye elena someone@some.where

    * add a lot of addresses

    It is better to edit files $MEMBER_LIST and $ACTIVE_LIST

    1. Firstly lock ML (here 120 seconds).

    % makefml lock elena 120 &

    2. edit

    % cd /var/spool/ml/elena
    % $EDITOR members
    % $EDITOR actives

    The format is one address at one line.

    NOTE: What is members and actives ?

    fml uses two different files for address lists.  The two file is
    "actives" and "members" in /var/spool/ml/elena.

    	actives		recipient list
    	members		member list who can post and use commands

    Generally speaking, members is bigger than actives since members may
    contain addresses he/she can post from but not receive at.
