NAME
       ezmlm-warn - send out bounce warnings

SYNOPSIS
       ezmlm-warn [ -dD	][ -t timeout ][ -l lockout ] dir

DESCRIPTION
       ezmlm-warn  sends  out  warning messages	for the	mailing	list stored in
       dir.

       ezmlm-warn scans	dir/bounce/d/ for directories older than timeout  days
       ago  (see -t).  The directories are created by ezmlm-return and contain
       bounces.	 If ezmlm-warn sees a distribution bounce for  box@domain  re-
       ceived  more  than  timeout days	ago, it	sends box@domain a list	of all
       the message numbers missed recently, and	deletes	 the  bounce.	If  it
       sees  a	warning	 bounce	for box@domain received	more than timeout days
       ago, it sends box@domain	a probe, and deletes the bounce.

       ezmlm-warn uses dir/bounce/lastd	to keep	track of when it was last run.
       If insufficient time has	passed (see -l)	ezmlm-warn exits without  fur-
       ther action.

       ezmlm-warn   keeps   files   with   the	 bounced  message  numbers  in
       dir/bounce/h.  Expired files are	 removed  and  dir/bounce/lasth	 keeps
       track of	the last subdirectory scanned.

       ezmlm-warn  will	 not send a warning or probe to	an address that	is not
       currently a subscriber.

       If neither the -d nor the -D option is given  to	 ezmlm-warn,  it  will
       process bounces for both	the main and digest lists.

       ezmlm-warn reads	dir/copylines to determine how many lines of the orig-
       inal  message to	copy into the outgoing message.	 If this file is empty
       or not present, a value of 0 is presumed, meaning that only the	header
       is copied.

       If dir/nowarn exists, ezmlm-warn	exits without taking any action.

       If  dir/qmqpservers  exists,  ezmlm-warn	will use qmail-qmqp(1) to send
       messages.

OPTIONS
       -d     process bounces only for the digest list.	 Digest	 list  bounces
	      are stored in dir/digest/bounce/ rather than in dir/bounce/.

       -D     Process bounces only for the main	list.

       -l lockout
	      ezmlm-warn  will abort execution if it was run less than lockout
	      seconds ago. The default is timeout / 50,	which with the default
	      timeout is 20,000	seconds	(approx. 5.6 hours). There is no  rea-
	      son  to use this switch, except for testing and possibly in com-
	      bination with -t.

       -t timeout
	      Bounces received more than timeout days ago are processed.  This
	      overrides	 the default of	10 days	and may	possibly be useful for
	      very large busy lists. Also, a timeout of	zero can  be  used  to
	      send  a warning to all addresses for which a bounce has been re-
	      ceived and a probe for all addresses for	which  a  warning  has
	      bounces.	This is	useful to rapidly clear	out bouncing addresses
	      from a (low quality) address list.
