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 begin-
       ning letter of the email  address  getting  subscribed  in  the  <list-
       dir>/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 sub-
       scribed like usual, but they won't recieve any postings  to  the  list.
       This is useful for people who read the mailinglist through a news gate-
       way, 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.
