SYNOPSIS

9       mlmmj-receive -L /path/to/listdir [-h] [-V] [-P] [-F]

11       -h: This help

13       -F: Don't fork in the background (debugging only)
14
15       -L: Full path to list directory
16
17       -P: Don't execute mlmmj-process (debugging only)

DESCRIPTION

22       The mlmmj-receive binary is the one specified in the mailserver config‐
23       uration file (aliases file),  which  writes  the  mail  to  the  <list‐
24       dir>/incoming  directory and invokes mlmmj-process unless the -P option
25       is specified. On systems using mailservers supporting the  /etc/aliases
26       file,  a  line to activate an mlmmj managed mailinglist would look like
27       this:
28
29       list: "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-receive -L /var/spool/mlmmj/list/"
30
31       It's very important to specify the full path  to  the  binary,  or  the
32       mailinglist will not function.
33
34       When  the  -F  option  is used, it will not fork in the background. The
35       reason it forks is that if delivery of a mail takes  longer  time  than
36       the  mail  server will allow a command to be idle before presumed dead,
37       the mail server would kill it.
