NAME

       mlmmj-receive - receive mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-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 configuration 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.
