Advanced_Mailing_Lists

   PMDF DB allows you to control who can or cannot post to mailing
   lists as well as associate error return, reply to, and other
   special addresses with mailing lists. To use these features,
   an extended alias specification must be used when declaring the
   alias for the mailing list:

db> add alias-name "<filename, named-parameters, error-return-address,
       reply-to-address, errors-to-address, warnings-to-address, comments"

   These items are described in the subtopics "Named parameters" and
   "Positional parameters".

   The two positional parameters ERROR-RETURN-ADDRESS and REPLY-
   TO-ADDRESS are two particularly useful items. You are strongly
   encouraged to use the ERROR-RETURN-ADDRESS parameter so as to
   control where error messages concerning postings to your list are
   directed. You can use the REPLY-TO-ADDRESS parameter to make the
   preferred reply address the list address (or some other address).
