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 necessity and at last stored into digest spool, archive spool and outgoing spool. Those bound for command addresses are interpreted and appropriate actions are taken. Those bound for listmasters or list admins are forwarded to them.
Sympa_msg.pl follows the usual GNU command line syntax,
with long options starting with two dashes (--
). A summary of
options is included below.
