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.
