schleuder-newlist8

Usage

Overview

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:

-adminaddress [email protected]

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 [email protected]

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).

When specified, no questions will be asked to complete missing information.

Examples

This creates a new list called test1 with the initial member [email protected]. A new keypair will be generated for the list.

  schleuder-newlist [email protected] \
      -realname "bal jak" \
      -adminaddress [email protected] \
      -initmember [email protected] -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 [email protected] \
      -realname "bal jak" \
      -adminaddress [email protected] \
      -privatekeyfile ~/tmp/test2.priv \
      -publickeyfile /tmp/test2.pub \
      -passphrase test
