+ssl: Whether to use SSL and https:// URLs for some or all pages.

+     sensitive pages that include passwords like login and registration,
+     but not for regular pages). Default to 'never'.
+sslserver: use an alternate server name for SSL URLs, like

+           parameters correctly so that both the SSL server and the
+           "normal" server can access the session cookie and
+           preferably other cookies as well.

+subscribe: nickname of a user account to automatically subscribe new

+welcome: nickname of a user account that sends welcome messages to new
+         users. Can be the same as 'subscribe' account, although on
+         busy servers it may be a good idea to keep that one just for
+         'urgent' messages. Default is null; no message.
