💖 sympa-upgrade-incoming 💖

okay bestie, so this is the sympa-upgrade-incoming manual page from sympa — the one all about upgrading messages in the incoming spool. it's giving "janitor of the mail queues" and honestly? we love that for it. 🧹✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

sympa-upgrade-incoming — ok so literally what it says on the tin: it upgrades the messages chillin' in the incoming spool. glow-up for your mail queue, periodt. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

sympa upgrade incoming [ --dry_run | -n ]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

so, history lesson real quick (iykyk) — on Sympa earlier than 6.2, messages that got sent from WWSympa were injected into the msg spool with a special checksum. kinda quirky of them tbh. 🙈

but recent releases of Sympa and WWSympa? they've moved on. they now inject outbound messages into the outgoing spool, or they just send them by Mailer directly. no more checksum nonsense, we're grown now. 👑

so this program's whole job is to migrate messages with the old format into the appropriate spools. it's a little time capsule opener. iconic behavior fr fr. 💖

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

• --dry_run, -n — shows you what it's gonna do but won't actually perform the upgrade process. it's the responsible bestie who says "let's rehearse first, babe" before you do anything drastic. no cap. ✨

ngl, run this one first. it's free therapy for your spool. 😭

---

💫 RETURN VALUE 💫

this program exits with status 0 if processing succeeded. 🫶 otherwise? it exits with a non-zero status. so if you see a big number in $?, that's the program being like "girl, something went sideways." 💀

---

🌈 CONFIGURATION OPTIONS 🌈

the following site configuration parameters in --CONFIG-- are referred to (yes, it reads your config, it's nosy like that 👀):

• cookie — (obsoleted by Sympa 6.2.61b) — yeah she's retired, don't come for her. 🧚
• queue
• umask

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• sympa_config(5)
• Sympa::Message

go read those next, bestie. it's giving "required reading." 📚💜

🦋 HISTORY 🦋

so upgrade_send_spool.pl appeared on Sympa 6.2. slay. ⭐

then its function was moved to the sympa upgrade incoming command line on Sympa 6.2.71b. glow-up complete. main character energy only. 🌸

---

and that's the whole page, babe. go forth and upgrade those spools responsibly. 💖✨🎀
