Mailing list setup

From time-to-time new mailing lists are need. The process is as follows
1.
Check-in the new mailing list in code/admin/system.
2.
Supply the mail alias to NRAO-AOC helpdesk), they put the alias into the master alias table. AIPS++ mailing lists have the form aips2-mailinglist, where mailinglist is the name of the mailing list.
3.
On tarzan as aips2mgr, edit the /etc/mail/tarzan.aliases-tail file and put in three lines like
#A comment about the new mailinglist
aips2-newlist: :include:/export/aips++/master/etc/aips2-newlist.list
aips2-newlist-log: "| /export/aips++/master/etc/aipsmail aips2-newlist"
4.
A daily cron job run by root appends the tarzan.aliases-tail file to tarzan's alias list.
5.
Send a test message. Put a symbolic link to the list recipients. On tarzan, cd /export/aips++/Mail/aips2-newlist, ln -s ../../master/etc/aips2-newlist list
