ezmlm-send \- distribute a message to a mailing list
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B ezmlm-send
.I dir
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ezmlm-send
reads a mail message and
sends it to the mailing list stored in
.IR dir .
If
.I dir\fB/archived
exists,
.B ezmlm-send
records a copy of the message in the
.I dir\fB/archive
directory.

At the beginning of the message,
.B ezmlm-send
prints a new
.B Mailing-List
field with the contents of
.IR dir\fB/mailinglist .
It rejects the message if there is already a
.B Mailing-List
field.

.B ezmlm-send
then prints all the new fields listed in
.IR dir\fB/headeradd ,
followed by an appropriate
.B Delivered-To
line.

.B ezmlm-send
deletes any incoming fields with names listed in
.IR dir\fB/headerremove .

.B ezmlm-send
does not distribute bounce messages:
if the environment variable
.B SENDER
is set, and is either empty or
.BR #@[] ,
.B ezmlm-send
rejects the message.
.SH "SUBLISTS"
If
.I dir\fB/sublist
exists,
.B ezmlm-send
changes its behavior in several ways.

First, if
.B SENDER
is set,
and the first line of
.I dir\fB/sublist
has the form
.IR parent\fB@\fIparenthost ,
.B ezmlm-send
insists that
.B SENDER
have the form
.IR parent\fB...@\fIparenthost .

Second,
.B ezmlm-send
demands that the message already have a
.B Mailing-List
field.

field.
