NAME

       mlmmj-receive - receive mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-receive -L /path/to/listdir [-h] [-V] [-P] [-F]

       -h: This help

       -F: Don't fork in the background (debugging only)

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -P: Don't execute mlmmj-process (debugging only)

       -V: Print version

DESCRIPTION

       The  mlmmj-receive  binary  is  the  one specified in the mailserver configuration file (aliases file), which writes the mail to the <list-
       dir>/incoming directory and invokes mlmmj-process unless  the  -P  option  is  specified.  On  systems  using  mailservers  supporting  the
       /etc/aliases file, a line to activate an mlmmj managed mailinglist would look like this:

       list: "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-receive -L /var/spool/mlmmj/list/"

       It's very important to specify the full path to the binary, or the mailinglist will not function.

       When  the  -F  option is used, it will not fork in the background. The reason it forks is that if delivery of a mail takes longer time than
       the mail server will allow a command to be idle before presumed dead, the mail server would kill it.

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
