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
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.
