SYMPA_AUTOMATIC(8)               sympa 6.2.11               SYMPA_AUTOMATIC(8)


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
           Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of
           /usr/local/etc/sympa/sympa.conf.

       --log_level=level
           Sets Sympa log level.

       sympa_automatic.pl may run in daemon mode with following options.

       --foreground
           The process remains attached to the TTY.

       -k, --keepcopy=directory
           This option tells Sympa to keep a copy of every incoming message,
           instead of deleting them. `directory' is the directory to store
           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
           faster though).

       With following options sympa_automatic.pl will print some information
       and exit.

       -h, --help
           Print this help message.

       -v, --version
