NAME

       mlmmj-process - process mail for an mlmmj managed mailinglist

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-process -L /path/to/list -m /path/to/mail [-h] [-P] [-V]

       -h: This help

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -m: Full path to mail file

       -P: Don't execute mlmmj-send (debugging only)

       -V: Print version

DESCRIPTION

       This is the binary which processes a mail. Examples of what such processing is:

       o   Access control

	   Using  the  access  rules  specified in <listdir>/control/access to perform access control to the list. This is done before headers are
	   stripped, so one can create allow rules based on headers that are later stripped.

       o   Header stripping

	   Headers specified in <listdir>/control/delheaders are deleted from the mail.

       o   Header addition

	   Headers specified in <listdir>/control/customheaders are added to the mail.	This could be headers like List-ID: or Reply-To:

       o   List control

	   In case there's a mail with a recipient delimiter it's not a regular list mail.  Processing of these happens in mlmmj-recieve as  well.
	   Examples  of  such are subscription requests, mails to owner etc.  It will base it's recipient delimiter detection on the Delivered-To:
	   header if present. If not, the To: header is used.

       o   Moderation

	   If the list is moderated, it will happen in mlmmj-process.

       When processing is done, it will invoke the needed binary according to whatever mail it is. If it's a subscription request it  will  invoke
       mlmmj-sub, if it's a regular list mail it will invoke mlmmj-send.
