NAME

6       public-inbox-mda - mail delivery agent for public-inbox
7

SYNOPSIS

9         public-inbox-mda </path/to/RFC2822_message
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) for public-inbox installations.  Each system
13       user may have their own public-inbox instances.  This may be invoked
14       via procmail(1) or similar tools.
15
16       By default, it relies on spamc(1) for filtering mail, but may be
17       disabled via "publicinboxmda.spamcheck" in public-inbox-config(5)
18

OPTIONS

20       --no-precheck
21               By default, public-inbox-mda does some simple checks before
22               invoking spamc(1) since it is intended to receive mail before
23               it goes to a mailing list.
24
25               However, some users prefer to use public-inbox-mda to mirror
26               mailing lists.  This option exists to support those users.
27
28               Using this option, the following prechecks are disabled:
29
30                 * multiple Message-IDs
31                 * non-existent Message-IDs
32                 * Message-IDs longer than 244 characters long
33                 * From: header shorter than 3 characters
34                 * Subject: header shorter than 2 characters
35                 * unusable Date: headers
36                 * inbox address specified in To: or Cc: header
37

ENVIRONMENT

39       ORIGINAL_RECIPIENT
40               The original recipient email address, set by the MTA.  Postfix
41               sets it by default, untested on other MTAs.
42
43               This does not have to be set if relying on
44               "publicinbox.$NAME.listid" directives configured in
45               public-inbox-config(5).
46
47       PI_CONFIG
48               Per-user config file parseable by git-config(1).  See
49               public-inbox-config(5).

53       PI_EMERGENCY
54               emergency Maildir destination.
