## Description

This is a ruby interface for interacting with ezmlm-idx, an email list
manager for use with the Qmail MTA, and the messages contained therein.
(The -idx provides an extended feature set over the original ezmlm
environment.)

http://untroubled.org/ezmlm/

This was tested against ezmlm-idx 7.2.2.


## Prerequisites

* Ruby 2.1 or better


## Installation

    $ gem install ezmlm


## TODO

  - Text file editing (trailers, etc.)
  - Header / mime list accessors


## Limitations

This library doesn't create new lists from scratch.  Use ezmlm-make.

This library is designed to only work with lists stored on disk (the
default), not the SQL backends.

Address space (32 bit vs 64 bit) matters when ezmlm calculates hashes.
If things aren't adding up, make sure this library is running on a
machine with a matching address space as the list itself.  (Running this
on a 64bit machine to talk to 32bit listserv isn't going to play well.)

A lot of the fine tuning niceties of ezmlm come as flag options to
the various ezmlm-* binaries.  This library largely just deals with
ezmlm-make flags for global list behaviors.  (For example, see the man
page for ezmlm-reject.)  Patches are welcome if you'd like these sorts
of miscellanous things included.
