mlmmj-receive(1)	    General Commands Manual	      mlmmj-receive(1)

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 config-
       uration	 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.
