ListProcessor 6.0

Note: all of the commands mentioned below must be sent to the special
ListProcessor address. They must not be sent to the discussion list.
The ListProcessor email address is:

   listproc@opus.scs.agilent.com

Here is a brief description of the set of requests recognized by
ListProcessor.  Everything appearing in [] below is optional; everything
appearing in <> is mandatory; all arguments are case insensitive.  The
vertical bar ("|") is used as a logical OR operator between the
arguments.  Requests may be abbreviated, but you must specify at least
the first three characters. Recognized requests are:

help [topic]
------------
Without arguments, this file.  Otherwise get specific information on the
selected topic.  Topics may also refer to requests.  To learn more about
this system issue a 'help listproc' request.  To get a listing of all
available topics, generate an error message by sending a bogus request
like 'help me'. 

set < list > [< option > < arg[s] > ]
------------------------------
Without the optional arguments, get a list of all current settings for
the specified list.  Otherwise change the option to a new value for that
list.  Issue a 'help set' request for more information. 

subscribe < list > < your name >
----------------------------
The only way to subscribe to a list.   An example:

   subscribe cacti_etc Jeff Jones

but of course you should use your own name and not "Jeff Jones."

unsubscribe < list >
signoff < list >
------------------
Two ways of removing yourself from the specified list.

recipients < list >
review < list >
-----------------
Get a listing of all non-concealed people subscribed to the specified list.
Example:
 
     recipients cacti_etc

information < list >
------------------
Get information about the specified list.


statistics < list > {[subscriber email address(es)] | [-all]}
-----------------------------------------------------------
Get a listing of non-concealed subscribers along with the number of
messages each one of them has sent to the specified list.  If the
optional email addresses are given, then statistics will be collected
for these users only.  For example:

		stat foo user1@domain user2@domain

will generate statistics about these two subscribers.  "-all" lists
statistics for all users that have posted on the list (whether currently
subscribed ot not). 

lists
-----
Get a list of all local mailing lists that are served by this server, as well
as of all known remote lists.


index [archive | path-to-archive] [/password] [-all]
----------------------------------------------------
Get a list of files in the selected archive, or the master archive if no
archive was specified. If an archive is private, you have to provide its
password as well.  Example: index cacti_etc

get < archive | path-to-archive > < file > [/password] [parts]
----------------------------------------------------------
Get the requested file from the specified archive. Files are usually split in
parts locally, and in such a case you will receive the file in multiple email
messages -- an 'index' request tells you how many parts the file has been split
into, and their sizes; if you need to obtain certain parts, specify them as
optional arguments. If an archive is private, you have to provide its password
as well.  Examples:

    get cacti_etc netiquette
    get cacti_etc soils
    get cacti_etc lights

search < archive | path-to-archive>] [/password] [-all] < pattern >
----------------------------------------------------------------
Search all files of the specified archive (and all of its subarchives if -all
is specified) for lines that match the pattern. The pattern can be an
egrep(1)-style regular expression with support for the following additional
operators: '~' (negation), '|' and '&' (logical OR and AND), '<' '>' (group
regular expressions). The pattern may be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Note: . matches any character including new line.
