4.3.6 Default List Name Constructed From To: Address

PMDF will use the username of the To: address to which a message was sent as a default list name. That is, if a user submits a command to MAILSERV where that command does not include an explicit list name, the default list name based on the To: address will be used. Configuring to take advantage of this feature is usually done by aliasing addresses of the form listname-request@localhost to point to listname@MAILSERV.

For instance, if an alias such as


listname-request:  listname@MAILSERV-DAEMON 
is created, then a user can send a message to listname-request consisting of just the command SUBSCRIBE with no argument in order to subscribe to the list named listname.
