Default Adding a flag to existing EZMLM list


I'm running an ezmlm list which is set with the following flags:

ezmlm-make -adfLptugm

(a archived, d digest, f prefix, L private subscriber list, p public, t
text trailer, u subscriber posts only, g guard archive, m spam and junk
goes to moderator)

It works fine, I only want to make a single change, the -b flag which I
have not used before, but to my understanding adding it to the above
config will block access to the archive to everyone except admins
(i.e., the list is archived, digests are sent out, but archives cannot
be retrieved by anyone except the admin).

My first question is, is this correct? Will adding the -b flag
accomplish blocking the current and future archives, to anyone except
moderators/admins?

Second, HOW do I add this flag to the CURRENT list?

For instance:

ezmlm-make -adfLptugm /var/qmail/alias/list
/var/qmail/alias/.qmail-list list domain.com

chown -R alias /var/qmail/alias/list

Creates a new list, using my present parameters.

In order to change the existing list, reading the man pages, I add the
-e (edit) flag. My question is: what is the EXACT syntax please. I am
slightly confused. To add the archive block, may I just type:

ezmlm-make -eb /var/qmail/alias/list

And it will work? Or will it blow away my current list, and make a
brand new list, over-writing everything, taking the generic ezmlmrc
template, and adding a -b flag?

Thank you,

Jeff

I THINK that will do what you want. Being the paranoid type, I would
recommend makng a copy of the list directory, and running the ezmlm-make
-eb against that directory, to see what it REALLY does, before you run
it on your live list.
