   3 ezmlm-send \- distribute a message to a mailing list
   4 .SH SYNOPSIS
   5 .B ezmlm-send
   6 .I dir
   7 .SH DESCRIPTION
   8 .B ezmlm-send
   9 reads a mail message and
  10 sends it to the mailing list stored in
  11 .IR dir .
  12 If
  13 .I dir\fB/archived
  14 exists,
  15 .B ezmlm-send
  16 records a copy of the message in the
  17 .I dir\fB/archive
  18 directory.
  19
  20 At the beginning of the message,
  21 .B ezmlm-send
  22 prints a new
  23 .B Mailing-List
  24 field with the contents of
  25 .IR dir\fB/mailinglist .
  26 It rejects the message if there is already a
  27 .B Mailing-List
  28 field.
  29
  30 .B ezmlm-send
  31 then prints all the new fields listed in
  32 .IR dir\fB/headeradd ,
  33 followed by an appropriate
  34 .B Delivered-To
  35 line.
  36
  37 .B ezmlm-send
  38 deletes any incoming fields with names listed in
  39 .IR dir\fB/headerremove .
  40
  41 .B ezmlm-send
  42 does not distribute bounce messages:
  43 if the environment variable
  44 .B SENDER
  45 is set, and is either empty or
  46 .BR #@[] ,
  47 .B ezmlm-send
  48 rejects the message.
  49 .SH "SUBLISTS"
  50 If
  51 .I dir\fB/sublist
  52 exists,
  53 .B ezmlm-send
  54 changes its behavior in several ways.
  55
  56 First, if
  57 .B SENDER
  58 is set,
  59 and the first line of
  60 .I dir\fB/sublist
  61 has the form
  62 .IR parent\fB@\fIparenthost ,
  63 .B ezmlm-send
  64 insists that
  65 .B SENDER
  66 have the form
  67 .IR parent\fB...@\fIparenthost .
  68
  69 Second,
  70 .B ezmlm-send
  71 demands that the message already have a
  72 .B Mailing-List
  73 field.
  74
  75 Third,
  76 .B ezmlm-send
  77 does not add its own
  78 .B Mailing-List
  79 field.
