NAME

       mlmmj-receive - receive mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist

SYNOPSIS

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

       -h: This help

       -F: Don't fork in the background (debugging only)

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -P: Don't execute mlmmj-process (debugging only)

       -V: Print version

DESCRIPTION

       The  mlmmj-receive binary is the one specified in the mailserver configuration file (aliases file), which
       writes the mail to the <listdir>/incoming directory and invokes mlmmj-process unless  the  -P  option  is
       specified.  On  systems  using  mailservers supporting the /etc/aliases file, a line to activate an mlmmj
       managed mailinglist would look like this:

       list: "|/usr/bin/mlmmj-receive -L /var/spool/mlmmj/list/"

       It's very important to specify the full path to the binary, or the mailinglist will not function.

       When the -F option is used, it will not fork in the background. The reason it forks is that  if  delivery
       of  a  mail  takes longer time than the mail server will allow a command to be idle before presumed dead,
       the mail server would kill it.
