.SH DESCRIPTION
This is the binary which processes a mail. Examples of what such processing
is:
.RS 0
.IP \(bu 4
.B
Access control

Using the access rules specified in <listdir>/control/access to perform access
control to the list. This is done before headers are stripped, so one can
create allow rules based on headers that are later stripped.
.IP \(bu 4
.B
Header stripping

Headers specified in <listdir>/control/delheaders are deleted from the mail.
.IP \(bu 4
.B
Header addition

Headers specified in <listdir>/control/customheaders are added to the mail.
This could be headers like List-ID: or Reply-To:
.IP \(bu 4
.B
List control

In case there's a mail with a recipient delimiter it's not a regular list mail.
Processing of these happens in mlmmj-receive as well. Examples of such are
subscription requests, mails to owner etc.
It will base it's recipient delimiter detection on the Delivered-To: header if
present. If not, the To: header is used.
.IP \(bu 4
.B
Moderation

If the list is moderated, it will happen in mlmmj-process.
.RE

When processing is done, it will invoke the needed binary according to whatever
mail it is. If it's a subscription request it will invoke mlmmj-sub, if it's a
regular list mail it will invoke mlmmj-send.
