Some users may want to receive messages in a digest form instead of the individual messages. The frequency option controls how often digests are sent out to those users. It defaults to 12AM if not specified. These commands determine who can post messages to a list. These commands retrieve the file filename for rewiew or modifying.
Filename can be one of subscribers, aliases, news, peers, ignored, info, or welcome.
The -nolock option is used when the file will not be modified and send back to ListProc. When using PUT, the content of filename will be args, which can be several lines long. Therefore, the PUT command should be used alone in an e-mail message. For example, an owner of BlueJays with password foo could send the following message to ListProc. This is the mailing list of Blue Jays fans at Johns Hopkins.
