ezmlm-confirm - process user actions for message confirm and discard
ezmlm-confirm [-cCrRvV] dir [ /path/program args ]
ezmlm-confirm reads a mail message, expecting it to contain an
-confirm or
-discard action request for the mailing list stored
in
dir.
ezmlm-confirm verifies the cookie sent as part of the action request, and
if correct attempts to find the corresponding message in
dir/mod/unconfirmed/. If the message is found, it is
either discarded or posted to the list, depending on the action
request.
Posts to the list are handled by piping the message to
ezmlm-send(1)
located in the ezmlm binary directory, as set at compile time. This is usually
the directory that ezmlm-moderate resides in.
ezmlm-send(1) is provided
with
dir as the first argument.
If the optional second argument is given,
ezmlm-confirm pipes the message
to that program. No additional parameters are supplied.
dir is passed as an argument to
ezmlm-send(1), but NOT to any
program specified as the optional
ezmlm-confirm command line argument.
ezmlm-confirm does not bother to correctly set sender.
ezmlm-send(1) doesn't care, and any other program that might be used
can parse the sender from the first line of the message, which is always
Return-Path: <address@host.domain> as build from SENDER
originally passed to
ezmlm-store(1).
Once the message has been successfully accepted or discarded, it is removed from
dir/mod/unconfirmed/.
If the message is not found in
dir/mod/unconfirmed/, it
has timed out and the message or the message stub has been removed
by ezmlm-clean(1). In this case,
ezmlm-confirm notifies the
sender of the failure. Notification is in the form of a fatal error from
qmail.
At the beginning of the message,
ezmlm-confirm prints a new
Mailing-List field with the contents of the
TXT_MAILING_LIST
message. It rejects the message if there is already a
Mailing-List
field.
ezmlm-confirm does not distribute bounce messages: if the environment
variable
SENDER is set, and is either empty or
#@[],
ezmlm-confirm rejects the message.

If
dir/charset exists, ezmlm-confirm will use the
character set listed for all messages. Otherwise, the default ``us-ascii''
will be used. The character set can be suffixed by ``:'' followed by a code.
If the code is ``Q'', outgoing messages are sent as ``Quoted-Printable'', if
it is ``B'' they are sent ``base64'' encoded. Otherwise, text is sent as is.
