ezmlm-dispatch(1) General Commands Manual ezmlm-dispatch(1) NAME ezmlm-dispatch - Dispatch an email to other ezmlm programs SYNOPSIS ezmlm-dispatch [ -vV ] dir [ list ] DESCRIPTION ezmlm-dispatch is used in a .qmail-default file to handle delivery to mul- tiple mailing lists in a directory. It assumes each list has been created in a directory of the same name as the list's local name. It examines the value of $DEFAULT set by qmail-local to determine which list the message is destined to, and what file within the list directory is to control the mes- sage delivery. If the address matches: Delivery is handled by: LIST LIST/editor LIST-owner LIST/owner LIST-digest-owner LIST/owner LIST-digest-return-* LIST/bouncer LIST-return-* LIST/bouncer LIST-confirm-* LIST/confirmer LIST-discard-* LIST/confirmer LIST-accept-* LIST/moderator LIST-reject-* LIST/moderator LIST-* LIST/manager If the optional list argument is present, it names the list, and $DEFAULT is only examined for what file is to control the delivery. This can be used to have ezmlm-dispatch control the operations of a single list. If dir/qmqpservers exists, ezmlm-dispatch will use qmail-qmqp(1) to forward messages. OPTIONS -v Display ezmlm-dispatch version information. -V Display ezmlm-dispatch version information. RETURN VALUE ezmlm-dispatch exits with the first non-zero exit code from any of the pro- grams it executes, or zero otherwise. SEE ALSO ezmlm-make(1), ezmlm-manage(1), ezmlm-send(1) CAVEATS Unlike qmail-local, ezmlm-dispatch changes directory into the list direc- tory before executing any commands. Programs which expect to be executed from the starting directory will fail. No ezmlm-idx programs are impacted by this. For security reasons, ezmlm-dispatch does not allow delivery to any address with a "/" in it. This will break subscribe (and similar) confirmations for senders that use email addresses with a "/" in them. In the case of ezmlm-dispatch handling a single list, it is not possible to use the .qmail-LIST-default file hand off control to the editor file for actual list delivery rather than administrative messages. A second .qmail- LIST file will still be necessary in this case. RESTRICTIONS ezmlm-dispatch does not support delivery to mbox files or maildirs. ezmlm-dispatch does not set $EXT, $EXT2, $EXT3, or $EXT4 as qmail-local does when doing local deliveries. None of the ezmlm programs use these en- vironment variables. ezmlm-dispatch(1)
