🦋 mlmmj-send(1) — General Commands Manual 🦋

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about mlmmj-send 💖

✨ NAME ✨

mlmmj-send — send mail to a mailinglist or similar 💌

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mlmmj-send [-L /path/to/list | -l listctrl] -m mail [-aDFhorsTV]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

here's the flag rundown, no gatekeeping:

  • -a — don't archive the mail. it's giving "no receipts" 📭
  • -D — don't delete the mail after it's sent. keep it, hoard it, whatever 🗂️
  • -F — what to use as MAIL FROM: 📤
  • -h — print help 🆘
  • -l — list control variable 🎛️
  • -L -path — full path to list directory 📁
  • -m — full path to mail file 📨
  • -o — address to omit from distribution (normal mail only) 🙈
  • -r — relayhost IP address (defaults to 127.0.0.1) 🛰️
  • -R — what to use as "Reply-To:" header 💬
  • -s — subscribers file name 📋
  • -T — what to use as RCPT TO: 🎯
  • -V — print version 🏷️

so like, this binary is the one that sends all kinds of mail to mlmmj managed mailinglists, but lowkey it can also potentially be used standalone for sending mails. main character energy fr fr 👑

the only option that is not self explanatory is the -l -list -control -option, and honestly bestie, here's the tea:

  1. send a single mail.

This is used together with -F and -T to send one mail to one recipient.

  1. mail to moderators.

Used for sending mails to the moderators of a list.

  1. resend failed list mail
  2. send to file with recipients
  3. bounceprobe
  4. single listmail to single recipient

💀 BUGS 💀

This manual page is very scarce documentation of the mlmmj-send binary. The reason for this is that it's really not supposed to be used by any human, but only supposed to be invoked from other mlmmj binaries. So in case more documentation is needed, please read the source.

not me having to say "go read the source" 😭 it's literally in the original, i'm just the messenger 🧚

and that's the whole page, bestie!! ✨ this icon came from Debian and the version/date on it is September 1, 2004 🌈 slay, go forth, and never invoke this by hand unless you really know what you're doing 💜🎀
