NAME
       ezmlm-weed - weed out useless messages

SYNOPSIS
       ezmlm-weed

DESCRIPTION
       ezmlm-weed reads a mail message from its standard input.  If it
       recognizes the message as an MTA warning message or success message, it
       exits 99; this will cause qmail-alias to skip all further delivery
       instructions if ezmlm-weed is run from a .qmail file.  If the message
       seems innocent, ezmlm-weed exits 0.  ezmlm-weed exits 111 if it runs
       out of memory.
