Become

The become commands allows administrators to "become" an address, assuming their email address and name, and issue ListManager commands on their behalf. For instance, an administrator can become another person, and issue the "subscribe" command for them and then "set" other membership options.

There are two possible syntaxes for the become command:

become email-address
become email-address Full Name

The first format only specifies an email address. The name is then left blank.

The second format species both the email address and name of the person you are becoming. All words after the email address are understood as being the name.

The become command is only available to administrators. You must issue the admin login command before using the become command.

Example Using become

login p@55w9rd
become joe@example.com
set jazztalk digest
set jazztalk email=joebob@example.com
set jazztalk setfield(address="150 Main St. Anywhere, CA 94704")
end quiet
