SYNOPSIS

9       mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d | -L] /path/to/dir
10
11       -d: Full path to directory with lists
12

DESCRIPTION

18       This  is  the  program doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing
19       list. It will unsubscribe people who have bounced for long enough, send
20       out  bounce  probes,  resend mails that couldn't be delivered to relay‐
21       host, clean out stale requests for e.g. subscription, resend list mails
22       and clean up leftover files etc.
23
24       If  a  directory containing several lists exists, the -d can be used to
25       specify this, making mlmmj-maintd perform a maintenance  run  in  every
26       listdir below the specified one.
27
28       Only either -d or -L can be specified at the same time.
29
30       It  will  run  as a daemon, unless the -F switch is specified, in which
31       case it just runs once.  The -F  option should be used when  one  wants
32       to  avoid  running  another  daemon,  and  use  e.g. cron to control it
33       instead. In case cron is used, mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours
34       or so. An example crontab entry:
