NAME

       mlmmj-receive — receive mails for an mlmmj managed mailinglist

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       -h         Print help

       -F         Don't fork in the background "debugging only"

       -L path    Full path to list directory

       -P         Don't execute mlmmj-process(1) "debugging only"

       -V         Print version

       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(1) 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.
