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