fml 3.0 -- handling error mail ---
*** overview In small mailing list, you may be able to handle error mails. However you expect fml to handle error mails automatically. *** handle error mails Especially in the end of the year, users apart from university or company but forget to change the address registered in ML. In that case, many "user unknown" mail returns to $MAINTAINER. libexec/mead.pl in fml package analyses these error mails as input and removes such invalid users from the member list. In default mead.pl shows "user unknown" addresses to remove from the member list. You can configure mead.pl removes such addresses automatically. *** how to configure % makefml newml elena [ /var/spool/ml/elena/include-mead ] has # MEAD: Mail Error Analyze Daemon ("-m auto" to remove addrs automatically) # a lot of available options. see op.{jp,en} e.g. mead.pl -f perl-script "|/usr/local/fml/libexec/mead.pl -m report -S /var/spool/ml -D /var/spool/ml/elena -E /usr/local/fml" [ /var/spool/ml/elena/aliases has the (commented) entry to call ] #elena-admin: fukachan, :include:/var/spool/ml/elena/include-mead To enable "mead" to work, uncommnet it in /etc/aliases to enable mead elena-admin: fukachan, :include:/var/spool/ml/elena/include-mead and run "newaliases". *** advanced configuration * important command line option -m mode -k action These two options are orthogonal. "mode" is either of "auto" or "report" and "action" is "off" (stop delivery but not remove it) or "bye" (remove the user). * Example: remove invalid user automatically change "-m report" to "-m auto" in /var/spool/ml/elena/include-mead. /etc/aliases is the same as described above. "|/usr/local/fml/libexec/mead.pl -m auto -S /var/spool/ml -D /var/spool/ml/elena -E /usr/local/fml" * Example: stop delivery for invalid user automatically "|/usr/local/fml/libexec/mead.pl -k off -m auto -S /var/spool/ml -D /var/spool/ml/elena -E /usr/local/fml" *** For more details ../errormails/ Copyright (C) 1999 Ken'ichi Fukamachi All rights reserved. $Id: errormail-handling.en.wix,v 1.1.1.1 2000/12/06 03:50:30 fukachan Exp $
