man mlmmj-recieve (Commandes) - recieve mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist
NAME
mlmmj-recieve - recieve mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist
SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-recieve -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-recieve 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 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-recieve -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.
