SYMPA_MSG(8)                     sympa 6.2.11                     SYMPA_MSG(8)


NAME

       sympa_msg, sympa_msg.pl - Daemon to handle incoming messages


SYNOPSIS

       sympa_msg.pl [ -d, --debug ] [ -f, --file=another.sympa.conf ]
             [ -k, --keepcopy=directory ]
             [ -l, --lang=lang ] [ -m, --mail ]
             [ -h, --help ] [ -v, --version ]


DESCRIPTION

       Sympa_msg.pl is a program which scans permanently the incoming message
       spool and processes each message.

       Messages bound for the lists and authorized sending are modified as
       neccesity and at last stored into digest spool, archive spool and bulk
       spool.  Those bound for command addresses are interpreted and
       appropriate actions are taken.  Those bound for listmasters or list
       admins are forwarded to them.


OPTIONS

       Sympa_msg.pl follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
       options starting with two dashes ("--").  A summary of options is
       included below.

       -d, --debug
           Enable debug mode.

       -f, --config=file
           Force Sympa to use an alternative configuration file instead of
           /usr/local/etc/sympa/sympa.conf.

       -l, --lang=lang
           Set this option to use a language for Sympa. The corresponding
           gettext catalog file must be located in /usr/local/share/locale
           directory.

       --log_level=level
           Sets Sympa log level.

       sympa_msg.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).

       --service=process_command|process_message|process_creation
           Note: This option was deprecated.

           Process is dedicated to messages distribution, commands or to
           automatic lists creation (default three of them).

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

       -h, --help
           Print this help message.

       -v, --version
           Print the version number.
