NAME

       mlmmj-maintd - maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d | -L] /path/to/dir

       -d: Full path to directory with lists

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -F: Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only.

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  the  program  doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing list. It will unsubscribe people who have bounced for long enough,
       send out bounce probes, resend mails that couldn't be delivered to relayhost, clean out stale requests for e.g. subscription,  resend  list
       mails and clean up leftover files etc.

       If  a directory containing several lists exists, the -d can be used to specify this, making mlmmj-maintd perform a maintenance run in every
       listdir below the specified one.

       Only either -d or -L can be specified at the same time.

       It will run as a daemon, unless the -F switch is specified, in which case it just runs once.  The -F  option should be used when one  wants
       to avoid running another daemon, and use e.g. cron to control it instead. In case cron is used, mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours or
       so. An example crontab entry:

       0 */2 * * * /usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -L /path/to/list

NAME

       mlmmj-bounce - bounce handling utility for mlmmj

DESCRIPTION

       mlmmj-bounce  is  used  to  handle  mails  that	are  bouncing.	When  a  mail  arrives to the system, mlmmj-bounce will register in <list-
       dir>/bounce/<addrstring> info about which number that bounced at what time. An example of such a line could be:

       109:1094409801 # Sun Sep  5 20:43:21 2004

       The above shows that message number 109 bounced 1094409801 seconds after epoch which is in  human  date	stamps	is  Sunday  September  5th
       20:43:21 2004.

       The last bounce mail recieved to the address is saved in <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.lastmsg.

       When  the  -p  option is used it sends out a probe email including info that it's a bounce probe and a list of the bounced message numbers.
       The existance of a <listdir>/bounce/<addrstring>.probe file indicates that a probe have been sent out.
