NAME
ezmlm-warn - send out bounce warnings
SYNOPSIS
ezmlm-warn
[
-dD
][
-t
timeout
][
-l
lockout
]
dir
DESCRIPTION
ezmlm-warn
sends out warning messages
for the mailing list stored in
dir.
ezmlm-warn
scans
dir/bounce/d/
for directories older than
timeout
days ago (see
-t).
The directories are created by
B ezmlm-return
and contain bounces.
If
ezmlm-warn
sees a distribution bounce for
box@domain
received more than
timeout
days ago,
it sends
box@domain
a list of all the message numbers missed recently,
and deletes the bounce.
If it sees a warning bounce for
box@domain
received more than
timeout
days ago,
it sends
box@domain
a probe,
and deletes the bounce.
ezmlm-warn
uses
dir/bounce/lastd
to keep track of when it was last run. If insufficient time has
passed (see
-l)
ezmlm-warn
exits without further action.
ezmlm-warn
keeps files with the bounced message numbers in
dir/bounce/h.
Expired files are removed and
dir/bounce/lasth
keeps track of the last subdirectory scanned.
ezmlm-warn
will not send a warning or probe to an address that is
not currently a subscriber.
OPTIONS
- -d
-
process bounces for the digest list, rather than for the main list.
Digest list bounces are stored in
dir/digest/bounce/
rather than in
dir/bounce/.
- -D
-
(Default.)
Process bounces for the main list.
- -l lockout
-
ezmlm-warn
will abort execution if it was run less than
lockout
seconds ago. The default is
timeout /
50, which with the default
timeout
is 20,000 seconds (approx. 5.6 hours). There is no reason to use this
switch, except for testing and possibly in combination with
-t.
- -t timeout
-
Bounces received more than
timeout
days ago are processed. This overrides the default of 1,000,000
seconds (approximately 10 days)
and may possibly be useful for very large busy lists. Also, a
timeout
of zero can be used to send a warning to all addresses for which
a bounce has been received and a probe for all addresses for which a
warning has bounces.
This is useful to rapidly clear
out bouncing addresses from a (low quality) address list.
