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.
