SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

If the message has either a ``Precedence: junk'' or a ``Precedence: bulk'' header, ezmlm-reject exits 99 causing the message to be ignored. This causes replies from (some) vacation programs to be ignored.

If dir is specified, ezmlm-reject reads dir/msgsize for a maximum:minimum message body size in bytes. Either number will be ignored if 0 or omitted. ezmlm-reject will also look for dir/mimereject and either dir/mimekeep or dir/mimeremove. If dir/mimereject exists, Messages of the Content-Types specified or with MIME parts of these types will be rejected. If dir/mimekeep exists, ezmlm-reject will reject messages of Content-Types other than what is specified. Otherwise if dir/mimeremove exists, ezmlm-reject will reject messages of the Content-Types specified. These content-types will be accepted as parts of a composite MIME message. They will be stripped out later by ezmlm-send(1).

ezmlm-reject will exit 100 (permanent error) for rejections. If the list address is not in the message ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' headers and the -t switch is active, the exit code is 100 or 99, depending on the -q switch (see below). If you would like to forward messages instead of rejecting them, you can into the appropriate .qmail file put:

       |condredirect newaddress except /path/ezmlm-reject DIR

Now rejected posts will go to this address, and the recipient can take appropriate action.

ezmlm-reject reads dir/copylines to determine how many lines of the original message to copy into the outgoing message. If this file is empty or not present, a value of 0 is presumed, meaning that only the header is copied.

If dir/qmqpservers exists, ezmlm-reject will use qmail-qmqp(1) to send messages.

OPTIONS

-b

Reject the message if the message body starts ``subscribe'' or ``unsubscribe''. If the -c switch is specified, messages will also be rejected if the subject starts with these words.

-B

(Default.) Do not reject messages starting ``subscribe'' or ``unsubscribe''.

-c

(Default.) Commands are not permitted in the Subject line. A Subject line consisting solely of HELP, REMOVE, SUBSCRIBE, or UNSUBSCRIBE is rejected.

-C

Commands are permitted in the subject line.

-f

Forward all messages having a command as the subject line to the list's -request address for processing. This is only effective if -c is also set.

-F

(Default.) Do not forward command messages.

-h

(Default). Reject message if dir is set, dir/headerreject exists, and any of the headers in that file occur in the header. Mailing-List headers of other mailing list managers can be put into this file, one per line, to prevent processing of messages from other mailing lists. dir must be specified.

A reasonable set of headers would be: ``Mailing-List'', ``X-ml-name'', ``ml-name'',``X-loop'',``X-listprocessor-version'',``X-mailing-list''. Case is not important.

-H

Ignore dir/headerreject.

-q

Quiet. If the message due to the lack of the list address (see -t) is not accepted, this is logged but no error message is sent to the sender.

-q

Quiet. If a message due to the lack of the list address (see -t) is not accepted, the message is silently ignored.

-Q

(Default.) Not quiet. If a message due to the lack of the list address (see -t) is not accepted, the sender is notified by an error message.

-s

(Default.) A nonempty Subject line is required.

-S

A Subject line is not required.

-t

(Default.) Reject messages that do not have the list address in the ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' header(s). ezmlm-reject needs access to dir/outhost and dir/outlocal to check this. This check is silently omitted if dir is not specified, to assure backwards compatibility with existing ezmlm lists.

-T

Do not require the list address in the ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' header(s).
