DESCRIPTION

       This utility is used to subscribe people to the specified  mailinglist.
       It  will  write  the  email  address  in  a  file  with the name of the
       beginning letter  of  the  email  address  getting  subscribed  in  the
       <listdir>/subscribers.d/ directory.

       Unless  the -U switch is used it will switch its user id to the user id
       owning the list directory. This is done to make  sure  that  new  files
       created are having correct permissions.

       The  nomail  version  of  the  list  is a list version where people are
       subscribed like usual, but they won’t recieve any postings to the list.
       This  is  useful  for  people  who  read the mailinglist through a news
       gateway, but want to be able to post to the list.

       Normally a mail is sent to the subscriber if  the  address  is  already
       subscribed  to  the list. If the -s switch is used such a mail will not
       be sent.

       When neither -c nor -C are specified, subscription silently happens.
