ezmlm-dispatch - Dispatch an email to other ezmlm programs
ezmlm-dispatch [ -vV ] dir [ list ]
ezmlm-dispatch is used in a .qmail-default file to handle delivery to multiple mailing lists in a directory. It assumes each list has been created in a directory of the same name as the list's local name. It examines the value of $DEFAULT set by qmail-local to determine which list the message is destined to, and what file within the list directory is to control the message delivery.
If the address matches: Delivery is handled by: LIST LIST/editor LIST-owner LIST/owner LIST-digest-owner LIST/owner LIST-digest-return-* LIST/bouncer LIST-return-* LIST/bouncer LIST-confirm-* LIST/confirmer LIST-discard-* LIST/confirmer LIST-accept-* LIST/moderator LIST-reject-* LIST/moderator LIST-* LIST/manager
If the optional list argument is present, it names the list, and $DEFAULT is only examined for what file is to control the delivery. This can be used to have ezmlm-dispatch control the operations of a single list.
ezmlm-dispatch uses ezmlm-queue(1) to send messages. ezmlm-dispatch sets environment variables from /etc/indimail/ezmlm/global_vars. This can be used to set queue related variables for ezmlm-queue
/etc/indimail/control*/qmqpservers*** exists, ezmlm-dispatch will use qmail-qmqpc(1) to send messages. Server IP addresses listed one per line in /etc/indimail/control//qmqpservers will be tried in order.

CAVEATS Unlike qmail-local ezmlm-dispatch changes directory into the list directory before executing any commands. Programs which expect to be executed from the starting directory will fail. No ezmlm-idx programs are impacted by this. For security reasons ezmlm-dispatch does not allow delivery to any address with a "/" in it. This will break subscribe (and similar) confirmations for senders that use email addresses with a "/" in them. In the case of ezmlm-dispatch handling a single list it is not possible to use the .qmail-LIST-default file hand off control to the editor file for actual list delivery rather than administrative messages. A second .qmail-LIST file will still be necessary in this case.
RESTRICTIONS ezmlm-dispatch does not support delivery to mbox files or maildirs. ezmlm-dispatch does not set $EXT $EXT2 $EXT3 or $EXT4 as qmail-local does when doing local deliveries. None of the ezmlm programs use these environment variables.
