SYNOPSISmlmmj-receive-L /path/to/listdir [-h] [-V] [-P] [-F]
-h: This help
-F: Don't fork in the background (debugging only)
-L: Full path to list directory
-P: Don't execute mlmmj-process (debugging only)
-V: Print version
DESCRIPTION
The mlmmj-receive binary is the one specified in the mailserver config‐
uration file (aliases file), which writes the mail to the <list‐
dir>/incoming directory and invokes mlmmj-process 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.
