DESCRIPTION

14       Sympa_automatic.pl is a program which scans permanently the automatic
15       creation spool and processes each message.
16
17       If the list a message is bound for has not been there and list creation
18       is authorized, it will be created.  Then the message is stored into
19       incoming message spool again and wait for processing by sympa_msg.pl.
20

OPTIONS

22       sympa_automatic.pl may run with following options in general.
23
24       "-d", "--debug"
25           Enable debug mode.
26
27       "-f", "--config="file
28           Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of
29           /etc/sympa/sympa.conf.
30
31       "--log_level="level
32           Sets Sympa log level.
33
34       sympa_automatic.pl may run in daemon mode with following options.
35
36       "--foreground"
37           The process remains attached to the TTY.
38
39       "-k", "--keepcopy="directory
40           This option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every incoming message,
41           instead of deleting them. `directory' is the directory to store

45           Sympa will log calls to sendmail, including recipients. This option
