       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
       <listdir>/subscribers.d/	directory.

       The digest version of the list is a list	version	where  people  receive
       postings	 to  the  list	periodically (e.g. once	a day) or when a large
       number of posts	have  accumulated.   Digest  subscribers  are  in  the
       <listdir>/digesters.d/ directory.

       The  nomail version of the list is a list version where people are sub-
       scribed like usual, but they won't receive 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.	Nomail subscribers are
       in the <listdir>/nomailsubs.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.

       If the given address is already subscribed to the list, but to  a  dif-
       ferent  version,	the subscription is switched to	that version, and con-
       firmation and moderation	are bypassed.  If the address is already  sub-
       scribed to the version requested, a mail	is sent	to the subscriber, un-
       less the	-s switch is used.

       Subscription  may be moderated (if <listdir>/control/submod exists) un-
       less the	-f switch is given.  When a subscription  is  permitted	 by  a
       gatekeeper,  welcome  messages are sent to the subscriber as usual, re-
       gardless	of options given now.

       To ensure subscription is silent	from the point of  view	 of  the  sub-
       scriber,	use -f,	but neither -c nor -C.	To inhibit notification	of the
       owner,  use  -q.	 Use of	-s is recommended to ensure you	don't spam al-
       ready-subscribed	addresses by accident.
