NAME

       mlmmj-maintd - maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists

SYNOPSIS

       mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d | -L] /path/to/dir

       -d: Full path to directory with lists

       -L: Full path to list directory

       -F: Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only.

DESCRIPTION

       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 specify 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
