Setting Up Power Plus Mailing Lists
Here's directions on how to setup your PowerPlus mailing lists:
1) Setup a welcome message in infobot file - you can name it anything you
like, for our purposes we'll call it "join-newsletter".
Ex: "Welcome to my list server, please send all mail to name of
newsletter@yourdomain.com"
This message will be automatically returned each time someone subscribes.
2) Now you need to setup a configuration file to tell the mail system to
build a mailing list. In your infobot directory create a file called infolist.
This is used to tell the system what to do with addresses received from each
infobot response. You can have as many lists as you want, for our purposes
we will set it up to write to one list called "newsletter".
Here's what the file should look like:
Ex: join-newsletter newsletter
First line should be join-newsletter followed by a space, then
newsletter.
That's all you need to create a list called "newsletter".
3) To send mail to the list, send your E-mail to
newsletter@yourdomain.com and the Plus Mail System will send it to
the entire list.
4) When someone subscribes to the list, their name will be place in a file
in the /maillist directory called newsletter. If you have aquired
a list of names already, you can import them into that directory, one address
per line, and it will then become the active list.
