.TH ezmlmwebrc 5 "April 02007" "ezmlm-web" "configuration file"
.SH NAME
ezmlmwebrc \- configuration file for ezmlm-web
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBezmlmwebrc\fR contains the configuration settings necessary for ezmlm-web.
.PP
The file is required for ezmlm-web and must exist in one of the following
locations:
.IP \fB~/.ezmlmwebrc\fR
user-specific configuration file
.IP \fB/etc/ezmlm-web/ezmlmwebrc\fR
system-wide default configuration file
.IP \fB/etc/ezmlm/ezmlmwebrc\fR
system-wide default configuration file (deprecated since v2.2)
.PP
Additionally the location of the configuration file may be overriden by the
command line switch \fB\-C\fR of \fIezmlm-web.cgi (1p)\fR.
.SH FILE FORMAT
.PP
The file itself is sourced by the perl script \fIezmlm-web.cgi\fR, so it is
required that the file conforms to the syntax of perl scripts. See the
manpage of perl (1) for details.
.PP
You should avoid to declare other variables than the settings described below.
Otherwise you may run into namespace conflicts. Just don't do it.
.PP
You may rely on the existence (and meaningful content) of the following
variables:
.IP \fI$USER\fR
the name of the owner of the current process
.IP \fI$HOME\fR
the home directory of the owner of the current process
.SH REQUIRED SETTINGS
.IP \fB$LIST_DIR\fR
This is the directory containing the lists, that you want to manage via
ezmlm-web. It will be created automatically if it does not exist yet.
The value \fI$HOME/lists\fR should be quite reasonable.
.IP \fB$LANGUAGE_DIR\fR
This directory contains the language files of ezmlm-web (e.g. \fIen.hdf\fR).
Usually this should be something like \fI/usr/local/share/ezmlm-web/lang\fR.
.IP \fB$TEMPLATE_DIR\fR
This directory contains the template files of ezmlm-web (e.g. \fImain.cs\fR).
Usually this should be something like
\fI/usr/local/share/ezmlm-web/template\fR.
.SH OPTIONAL SETTINGS
.IP \fB$DEFAULT_OPTIONS\fR
Specify the default options used for ezmlm-make (1) when creating a new list.
The default value is: \fIaBDFGHiJkLMNOpQRSTUWx\fR. See the manpage of
ezmlm-make (1) for details.
.IP \fB$ALIAS_USER\fR
The alias user of a qmail installation manages all mail addresses that are
not handled by specific dotqmail files or other definitions. It defaults to
\fIalias\fR.
.IP \fB$QMAIL_BASE\fR
This is the control directory of your qmail setup. It defaults to
\fI/var/qmail/control\fR.
.IP \fB$DOTQMAIL_DIR\fR
The directory of the dotqmail (5) files of the lists managed by ezmlm-web.
It defaults to the home directory of the owner of the current process
(\fI$HOME\fR).
.IP \fB$WEBUSERS_FILE\fR
This file contains the access rules for the lists managed by ezmlm-web.
Read the README file of ezmlm-web for details. This setting defaults to
\fI$LISTS/webusers\fR.
.IP \fB$MAIL_DOMAIN\fR
Specify the default domain name of new mailing lists. Leave it empty if you
want ezmlm-web to try to detect this value automatically.
.IP \fB$MAIL_ADDRESS_PREFIX\fR
Specify the default prefix for the local part of the addresses of new mailing
lists. By default it is empty ('').
.IP \fB$PRETTY_NAMES\fR
Do you want to store connections between real names and mail addresses if both
were provided when adding a new subscriber? This results in a file called
\fIwebnames\fR being created in every mailing list directory when necessary.
.IP \fB$FILE_UPLOAD\fR
Should the upload of subscriber files be possible? The default is \fI1\fR.
If you consider this as a security risk, then you should set it to \fI0\fR.
.IP \fB$UNSAFE_RM\fR
This setting defines, if list removal requested via the web interface should
be recoverable or not. The value \fI1\fR will make ezmlm-web remove the list
directory completely without any chance of recovery. The default value \fI0\fR
will just move deleted lists to a safe place. Thus deletion is recoverable.
.IP \fB$HTML_TITLE\fR
Print a reasonable name of the web interface to the left upper corner of every
page. By default this string is empty.
.IP \fB$HTML_CSS_URL\fR
This is the URL of the stylesheet file to be used by ezmlm-web. Make sure it is
actually available, as the design of the web interface will suffer a lot
without it.
.IP \fB@HTML_LINKS\fR
This array may contain hashes with the elements \fIname\fR and \fIurl\fR.
These links will be visible in the upper right corner of every page.
Please pay attention to the syntax of perl and use the example configuration
file distributed with ezmlm-web as a template. By default, this array is
empty.
.IP \fB$HTML_LANGUAGE\fR
Specify the defaut language of the web interface. This value will be overriden
when the browser requests an available language or when the user explicitly
selects a different language. The default value is \fIen\fR.
.IP \fB$GPG_SUPPORT\fR
Enable support for encrypted mailing lists. Currently this feature is still
considered as beta quality. User reports are warmly welcome!
.IP \fB%DOMAINS\fR
This hash of hashes (\fIname\fR associated with a hash of domain specific
information) can be used to define a multi-domain setup. See the example
configuration file (\fImultidomain.conf\fR) as distributed with ezmlm-web for
more details.
