NAME

SYNOPSIS
schleuder-newlist LISTNAME [-email list@example.org] [-realname 'Foo List'] [-adminaddress listadmin@example.net] [-initmember member1@example.net -initmemberkey /path/to/initmember_publickey] [-privatekeyfile /path/to/privatekey -publickeyfile /path/to/publickey -passphrase key_passphrase] [-mailuser mail] [-nointeractive]
DESCRIPTION
schleuder-newlist automates the creation of new Schleuder mailing lists. For more information on Schleuder, please look at schleuder(8).
schleuder-newlist does various input validation, and can generate a key
or import one. It will give you as well an easy interface to build new
lists in a scripted manner.
It also supports an interactive mode, with which the user will be
prompted for missing mandatory options. The interactive mode can be
disabled, using the -nointercative flag; it is automatically disabled
if the script isn't run within a valid tty.
If no -privatekeyfile, -publickeyfile and -passphrase are provided, the list will create a new keypair with a random password. The type and length of the generated keypair is specified in /etc/schleuder/schleuder.conf.
