NAME

       mlmmj-maintd — maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d /path/to/dir | -L /path/to/dir]

DESCRIPTION

       -d <path>  Full path to directory with lists

       -L <path>  Full path to list directory

       -F         Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only.

       This  is  the  program doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing list.  It will unsubscribe people
       who have bounced for long enough, send out bounce probes, resend mails  that  couldn't  be  delivered  to
       relayhost,  clean out stale requests for e.g. subscription, resend list mails and clean up leftover files
       etc.

       If a directory containing several lists exists, the -d can be used to specify this,  making  mlmmj-maintd
       perform a maintenance run in every listdir below the specified one.

       Only either -d or -L can be specified at the same time.

       It  will  run  as  a  daemon, unless the -F switch is specified, in which case it just runs once.  The -F
       option should be used when one wants to avoid running another daemon, and use e.g.  cron  to  control  it
       instead.   In  case  cron  is  used,  mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours or so.  An example crontab
       entry:

             0 */2 * * * /usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -L /path/to/list
