DESCRIPTION

schleuder-newlist automates the creation of new Schleuder mailing lists. For more information on Schleuder, please look at schleuder(8).
schleuder-newlist does various input validation, and can generate a key or import one. It will give you as well an easy interface to build new lists in a scripted manner.
It also supports an interactive mode, with which the user will be prompted for missing mandatory options. The interactive mode can be disabled, using the -nointercative flag; it is automatically disabled if the script isn´t run within a valid tty.
If no -privatekeyfile, -publickeyfile and -passphrase are provided, the list will create a new keypair with a random password. The type and length of the generated keypair is specified in /etc/schleuder/schleuder.conf.

OPTIONS

-c path-to-schleuder-configuration:
Specify an alternate configuration directory than the default /etc/schleuder.
-realname "Foo List"
Specify the name of the mailing list.
-adminaddress listadmin@example.net
Specify the email address of a list administrator. This address will be notified of errors, and depending on configuration may also be allowed to send restricted email commands.
-initmember member1@example.net
Specify the first subscribed list member address. Can be the same as the administrator address. This option must be accompanied by -initmemberkey.
-initmemberkey path-to-initmember-publickey
Specify the path to first subscribed list member public key. -initmember must also be specified.
-privatekeyfile path-to-privatekey
Specify the path to a previously-generated private key for the list. This option must be accompanied by -publickeyfile and -passphrase.
-publickeyfile path-to-publickey
Specify the path to a previously-generated public key for the list. This option must be accompanied by -privatekeyfile and -passphrase.
-passphrase "key passphrase"
Specify the passphrase needed to access the private key specified in -privatekeyfile. This option must be accompanied by -publickeyfile as well.
-mailuser schleuder
Specify the system user account under which schleuder(8) will be executed (when run as root, this defaults to schleuder).
-nointeractive
When specified, no questions will be asked to complete missing information.

EXAMPLES

This creates a new list called test1 with the initial member foo@bar.ch. A new keypair will be generated for the list. 

  schleuder-newlist foobar@example.org \
      -realname "bal jak" \
      -adminaddress admin@example.org \
      -initmember foo@example.com -initmemberkey /tmp/foo.pub
The list test2 will be created, a keypair from the following files with the passphrase test will be imported. 

  schleuder-newlist test2@example.com \
      -realname "bal jak" \
      -adminaddress foobar@example.org \
      -privatekeyfile ~/tmp/test2.priv \
      -publickeyfile /tmp/test2.pub \
      -passphrase test
