sympa_msg, sympa_msg.pl - Daemon to handle incoming messages
SYNOPSIS
sympa_msg.pl [ -d, --debug ] [ -f, --file=another.sympa.conf ]
[ -k, --keepcopy=directory ]
[ -l, --lang=lang ] [ -m, --mail ]
[ -h, --help ] [ -v, --version ]
DESCRIPTION
Sympa_msg.pl is a program which scans permanently the incoming message
spool and processes each message.
Messages bound for the lists and authorized sending are modified as
neccesity and at last stored into digest spool, archive spool and bulk
spool. Those bound for command addresses are interpreted and
appropriate actions are taken. Those bound for listmasters or list
admins are forwarded to them.
OPTIONS
Sympa_msg.pl follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes ("--"). A summary of options is
included below.
-d, --debug
Enable debug mode.
-f, --config=file
Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of
/usr/local/etc/sympa/sympa.conf.
-l, --lang=lang
Set this option to use a language for Sympa. The corresponding
gettext catalog file must be located in /usr/local/share/locale
directory.
--log_level=level

sympa_msg.pl may run in daemon mode with following options.
--foreground
The process remains attached to the TTY.
-k, --keepcopy=directory
This option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every incoming message,
instead of deleting them. `directory' is the directory to store
messages.
-m, --mail
Sympa will log calls to sendmail, including recipients. This option
is useful for keeping track of each mail sent (log files may grow
faster though).

Process is dedicated to messages distribution, commands or to
automatic lists creation (default three of them).
