ezmlm-dispatch(1)					     ezmlm-dispatch(1)

NAME
       ezmlm-dispatch - Dispatch an email to other ezmlm programs

SYNOPSIS
       ezmlm-dispatch [ -vV ] dir [ list ]

DESCRIPTION
       ezmlm-dispatch  is  used in a .qmail-default file to handle delivery to
       multiple mailing lists in a directory.  It assumes each list  has  been
       created	in  a directory of the same name as the list's local name.  It
       examines the value of $DEFAULT set by qmail-local  to  determine	 which
       list  the  message is destined to, and what file within the list direc‐
       tory is to control the message delivery.

	      If the address matches:	  Delivery is handled by:
	      LIST			  LIST/editor
	      LIST-owner		  LIST/owner
	      LIST-digest-owner		  LIST/owner
	      LIST-digest-return-*	  LIST/bouncer
	      LIST-return-*		  LIST/bouncer
	      LIST-confirm-*		  LIST/confirmer
	      LIST-discard-*		  LIST/confirmer
	      LIST-accept-*		  LIST/moderator
	      LIST-reject-*		  LIST/moderator
	      LIST-*			  LIST/manager

       If the optional list argument  is  present,  it	names  the  list,  and
       $DEFAULT	 is  only  examined  for what file is to control the delivery.
       This can be used to have ezmlm-dispatch control	the  operations	 of  a
       single list.

       If  dir/qmqpservers  exists,  ezmlm-dispatch  will use qmail-qmqp(1) to
       forward messages.

OPTIONS
       -v     Display ezmlm-dispatch version information.

       -V     Display ezmlm-dispatch version information.

RETURN VALUE
       ezmlm-dispatch exits with the first non-zero exit code from any of  the
       programs it executes, or zero otherwise.

SEE ALSO
       ezmlm-make(1), ezmlm-manage(1), ezmlm-send(1)

CAVEATS
       Unlike  qmail-local,  ezmlm-dispatch  changes  directory	 into the list
       directory before executing any commands.	 Programs which expect	to  be
       executed	 from the starting directory will fail.	 No ezmlm-idx programs
       are impacted by this.

       For security reasons, ezmlm-dispatch does not  allow  delivery  to  any
       address with a "/" in it.  This will break subscribe (and similar) con‐
       firmations for senders that use email addresses with a "/" in them.

       In the case of ezmlm-dispatch handling a single list, it is not	possi‐
       ble  to use the .qmail-LIST-default file hand off control to the editor
       file for actual list delivery rather than administrative	 messages.   A
       second .qmail-LIST file will still be necessary in this case.

RESTRICTIONS
       ezmlm-dispatch does not support delivery to mbox files or maildirs.

       ezmlm-dispatch does not set $EXT, $EXT2, $EXT3, or $EXT4 as qmail-local
       does when doing local deliveries.  None of the ezmlm programs use these
       environment variables.
