The 'dist'
file is the distribution list -- the list of recipients. To add
a pre-existing list of recipients, copy it into the dist file:
/home/username/yourdomainname-mail/listname/dist
You can add a short list by hand or by cut-and-paste. For a really
long list, you may want to download the dist file, edit it using
a word processing program, save it as text or ASCII, and then upload
the edited file.
The following conditions apply:
1.
One subscriber per line.
2.
Empty lines are allowed.
3.
The mail address of the subscriber must be the first word on the
line.
4.
Comments may follow the address (but separated from the address
by at least one blank space. character).
5.
Everything preceding the line containing:
(Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed)
is write-protected from changes (i.e. these addresses can never
be automatically/accidentally un-subscribed).
6.
If the line:
"Only addresses below this line can be automatically removed"
is not present at all, automatic subscription removal to this
list are impossible.
7. New
subscribers will always appear on the line immediately following
the last filled entry in the distribution file.
Some
sample entries (the preferred format):
joe@some.where
joe@some.where (some comment)
joe@some.where (some comment) (some more comments)
Depreciated, but allowed:
<joe@some.where>
<joe@some.where> some comment
<joe@some.where> (some comment)
Not allowed:
(some comment) joe@some.where
some comment <joe@some.where>
Note: adding to the distribution file for a list automatically adds
to the accept file as well, unless you have turned off foreign submissions.
