A mailing list is set up by creating a file in $MAILSHARE/lists.  The
file name is the lists' name (LIST) in all-lowercase (case-insensitive
matching is done by converting to lowercase before comparison).  The
file contains a list of mail addresses (typically one per line) which
are parsed to pull out the destination addresses.  This means the
users' full names can be given just as in any valid RFC822 address.
The local account which owns the file will by default receive messages
sent to LIST-owner and LIST-request.  This can be explicitly overridden
in the aliases file.  Mail to the list will go out with LIST-owner as
the sender, so list bounce messages will return to the LIST-owner
address.  Archives of the list can be created by adding a file name
address (a local pathname starting with "/") to the LIST file.  The
archive file is written with the ownership of the owner of the LIST
file.  Forwarding the mailing list into a newsgroup can be done using a
mail to news script (two generations are provided in utils/distribute
and utils/mail2news).

See the guides/aliases file for further information on aliasing.
