NAME
       mlmmj-maintd - maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists

SYNOPSIS
       mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d | -L] /path/to/dir

       -d: Full path to directory with lists

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -F: Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only.

DESCRIPTION
       This  is  the  program  doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing list. It will unsubscribe people who have bounced for long enough,
       send out bounce probes, resend mails that couldn't be delivered to relayhost, clean out stale requests for e.g. subscription,  resend  list
       mails and clean up leftover files etc.

       If  a directory containing several lists exists, the -d can be used to specify this, making mlmmj-maintd perform a maintenance run in every
       listdir below the specified one.

       Only either -d or -L can be specified at the same time.

       It will run as a daemon, unless the -F switch is specified, in which case it just runs once.  The -F  option should be used when one  wants
       to avoid running another daemon, and use e.g. cron to control it instead. In case cron is used, mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours or
       so. An example crontab entry:

       0 */2 * * * /usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -L /path/to/list
