mlmmj-receive(1) | General Commands Manual | mlmmj-receive(1) |
NAME
mlmmj-receive
—
receive mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist
SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-receive |
-L /path/to/listdir
[-h ] [-V ]
[-P ] [-F ] |
DESCRIPTION
-h
- Print help
-F
- Don't fork in the background "debugging only"
-L
path- Full path to list directory
-P
- Don't execute mlmmj-process(1) "debugging only"
-V
- Print version
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(1) 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.
