ezmlm-confirm(1)       DragonFly General Commands Manual      ezmlm-confirm(1)


NAME

       ezmlm-confirm - process user actions for message confirm and discard


SYNOPSIS

       ezmlm-confirm [-cCrRvV] dir [ /path/program args ]


DESCRIPTION

       ezmlm-confirm reads a mail message, expecting it to contain an -confirm
       or -discard action request for the mailing list stored in dir.

       ezmlm-confirm verifies the cookie sent as part of the action request,
       and if correct attempts to find the corresponding message in
       dir/mod/unconfirmed/.  If the message is found, it is either discarded
       or posted to the list, depending on the action request.

       Posts to the list are handled by piping the message to ezmlm-send(1)
       located in the ezmlm binary directory, as set at compile time. This is
       usually the directory that ezmlm-moderate resides in.  ezmlm-send(1) is
       provided with dir as the first argument.

       If the optional second argument is given, ezmlm-confirm pipes the
       message to that program.  No additional parameters are supplied.

       dir is passed as an argument to ezmlm-send(1), but NOT to any program
       specified as the optional ezmlm-confirm command line argument.

       ezmlm-confirm does not bother to correctly set sender.  ezmlm-send(1)
       doesn't care, and any other program that might be used can parse the
       sender from the first line of the message, which is always Return-Path:
       <address@host.domain> as build from SENDER originally passed to
       ezmlm-store(1).

       Once the message has been successfully accepted or discarded, it is
       removed from dir/mod/unconfirmed/.

       If the message is not found in dir/mod/unconfirmed/, it has timed out
       and the message or the message stub has been removed by ezmlm-clean(1).
       In this case, ezmlm-confirm notifies the sender of the failure.
       Notification is in the form of a fatal error from qmail.

       At the beginning of the message, ezmlm-confirm prints a new
       Mailing-List field with the contents of the TXT_MAILING_LIST message.
       It rejects the message if there is already a Mailing-List field.

       ezmlm-confirm does not distribute bounce messages: if the environment
       variable SENDER is set, and is either empty or #@[], ezmlm-confirm
       rejects the message.


OPTIONS

CHARACTER SETS

       If dir/charset exists, ezmlm-confirm will use the character set listed
       for all messages. Otherwise, the default ``us-ascii'' will be used. The
       character set can be suffixed by ``:'' followed by a code. If the code
       is ``Q'', outgoing messages are sent as ``Quoted-Printable'', if it is
       ``B'' they are sent ``base64'' encoded.  Otherwise, text is sent as is.
