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 configura-
     tion 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 mail-
     inglist 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.
