NAME
       sympa_automatic,	sympa_automatic.pl - Automatic list creation daemon

SYNOPSIS
       "sympa_automatic.pl" [ "-d, --debug" ]
       [ "-f, --file"=another.sympa.conf ] [ "-k, --keepcopy"=directory	]
       [ [ "-m,	--mail"	] [ "-h, --help" ] [ "-v, --version" ]

DESCRIPTION
       Sympa_automatic.pl is a program which scans permanently the automatic
       creation	spool and processes each message.

       If the list a message is	bound for has not been there and list creation
       is authorized, it will be created.  Then	the message is stored into
       incoming	message	spool again and	wait for processing by sympa_msg.pl.

OPTIONS
       sympa_automatic.pl may run with following options in general.

       "-d", "--debug"
	   Enable debug	mode.

       "-f", "--config="file

	   /usr/local/etc/sympa/sympa.conf.

       "-k", "--keepcopy="directory
	   This	option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every  incoming  message,

	   messages.

       "-m", "--mail"
	   Sympa will log calls	to sendmail, including recipients. This	option
	   is useful for keeping track of each mail sent (log files  may  grow
