systemd and the picolisp mailing list manager

In the past I have blogged how one can use picolisp’s mailing list manager (.tgz file) with docker. But this might not be practical for some people who might opt for a more “traditional” approach. That would require you to run it via systemd. So you would need a systemd service file. Assuming that you run list@example.com and you have a user list in your system, that would look like:

[Unit]
Description=MailingList

[Service]
User=list
ExecStart=/home/list/mailing.l
WorkingDirectory=/home/list
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=30s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

As a reminder, you subscribe to such a list by sending email to the list with Subscribe in the subject line and you unsubscribe with Unsubscribe in the subject line. Emails sent to the list by non-members are silently dropped.
