Yes, no archives.

This is part of the qmail-secretary section and not qmail-group.

==========
qmail-secretary:

qmail-secretary is a helper program for qmail-group and ezmlm. It implements
both moderation and sender confirmation. qmail-group calls qmail-secretary
internally but for ezmlm the .qmail files need to be adapted.

=========

qmail-secretary can be used with ezmlm or any other user that has a few
.qmail files. The simple setup can be used to protect a mailbox with
qmail-secretary. For ezmlm a special mode needs to be used, in that case
qmail-secretary extracts some info out of the ezmlm dir -- as example this
mailing list uses qmail-secretary to protect it from spammers.
