       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.

       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 subscribed like usual, but they won't
       receive 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.  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 different version, the subscription is
       switched to that version, and confirmation and moderation  are  bypassed.   If  the  address  is  already
       subscribed to the version requested, a mail is sent to the subscriber, unless the -s switch is used.

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

       To ensure subscription is silent from the point of view of the subscriber, 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 already-
       subscribed addresses by accident.
