10       [ "-f", "--file"=another.sympa.conf ] [ "-k", "--keepcopy"=directory ]

DESCRIPTION

15       Sympa_msg.pl is a program which scans permanently the incoming message
16       spool and processes each message.
17
18       Messages bound for the lists and authorized sending are modified as
19       necessity and at last stored into digest spool, archive spool and
20       outgoing spool.  Those bound for command addresses are interpreted and
21       appropriate actions are taken.  Those bound for listmasters or list
22       admins are forwarded to them.
23

OPTIONS

25       Sympa_msg.pl follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
26       options starting with two dashes ("--").  A summary of options is
27       included below.
28
29       "-d", "--debug"
30           Enable debug mode.
31
32       "-f", "--config="file
33           Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of
34           /etc/sympa/sympa.conf.
35
36       "-l", "--lang="lang
37           Set this option to use a language for Sympa. The corresponding
38           gettext catalog file must be located in $LOCALEDIR directory.
39
40       "--log_level="level
41           Sets Sympa log level.
42
43       sympa_msg.pl may run in daemon mode with following options.
44
45       "--foreground"
46           The process remains attached to the TTY.
47
48       "-k", "--keepcopy="directory
49           This option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every incoming message,
50           instead of deleting them. `directory' is the directory to store
51           messages.
52
53       "-m", "--mail"
54           Sympa will log calls to sendmail, including recipients. This option
55           is useful for keeping track of each mail sent (log files may grow
56           faster though).
57
58       "--service="service
59           Note: This option was deprecated.
60
61           Process is dedicated to messages distribution ("process_message"),
62           commands ("process_command") or to automatic lists creation
63           ("process_creation", default three of them).
64
65       With following options sympa_msg.pl will print some information and
66       exit.

68       "-h", "--help"
69           Print this help message.
