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 spec-
     ify  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
