Subject: Welcome to your new list: $listaddr

Welcome to your new list, $listaddr, of which you are the owner.
As the owner, you are responsible for its maintenance, which is
a fairly simple process given that it is being managed by SmartList.

The procedure for remote list management is:

a. send an e-mail to the address: $list-request@$domain
b. place administrative commands on the header: "X-Command:",
   using the syntax:

   X-Command: $owner PASSWORD COMMAND

   where for your list, $list, the password is: "$passwd".

   Command is one of:

   subscribe MAILADDRESS	- add MAILADDRESS to the dist list
   unsubscribe MAILADDRESS	- remove MAILADDRESS from the dist list
   checkdist MAILADDRESS	- see if MAILADDRESS is on the dist list

   showdist		- show the current dist list
   showlist		- show details of the list configuration
   showlog		- show the log of subs, unsubs, and archive requests
   wipelog		- clear the log
   help			- send help
   info			- same as help

If you ever need further assistance in managing your list, you can
contact the list master at $listmaster.

If this is still true, then do nothing -- you do not need to

this mail to you automatically renews your ownership.

If you are not the owner of this list, please respond to this mail
with an explanation, provide the new owner address, or ask to
have the list removed.

Welcome as a moderator of the list "$listaddr".

This means that you, along with any other moderators, will receive
unmoderated submissions to "$list".

If you choose to authorize the submission, you must resend the mail
with the following header added:

it.

Any moderator may choose to authorize a submission, but only the first
approved submission will actually be forwarded to the list; succeeding
authorizations of the same submission will be filtered automatically.
