See README.mm-handler +for much important information that is not repeated here. + +This version was updated by David Champion to add the +ability to select a subset of list addresses to accept and to add switches +to not generate bounces for non-existent lists and unaccepted or invalid +list addresses. It was further debugged and polished by Kenneth Porter +. + +Kenneth added syslog logging using the perl Unix::Syslog module (available +from CPAN and other repositories). If you don't have that module, you must +either install it or remove the module references and syslog references from +mm-handler-2.1.10. + +This is a work in progress. The major thing left to do is to arrange for +it to exit with an appropriate exit code (e.g. EX_NOUSER or EX_UNAVAILABLE) +when the message is undeliverable. This in turn requires that mm-handler +be invoked separately for each message recipient address. The sample +mailman.mc file is set up this way and mentions that the 'm' and 'n' flags +should not be used, but mm-handler contains an address processing loop in +case the 'm' flag is included in it's invocation. This should be changed +to log an appropriate error if mm-handler is invoked with multiple recipient +addresses. + +See the threads "before next release: disable backscatter in default +installation", "anti-backscatter mm-handler ..." and "mm-handler 2.1.10 ..." +at +for background and further information. + -- cgit v1.2.3
