PUBLIC-INBOX-MDA(1) public-inbox user manual PUBLIC-INBOX-MDA(1)

NAME

public-inbox-mda - mail delivery agent for public-inbox

SYNOPSIS

  public-inbox-mda </path/to/RFC2822_message

DESCRIPTION

Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) for public-inbox installations. Each system user may have their own public-inbox instances. This may be invoked via procmail(1) or similar tools.

By default, it relies on spamc(1) for filtering mail, but may be disabled via "publicinboxmda.spamcheck" in public-inbox-config(5)

OPTIONS

By default, public-inbox-mda does some simple checks before invoking spamc(1) since it is intended to receive mail before it goes to a mailing list.

However, some users prefer to use public-inbox-mda to mirror mailing lists. This option exists to support those users.

Using this option, the following prechecks are disabled:

  * multiple Message-IDs
  * non-existent Message-IDs
  * Message-IDs longer than 244 characters long
  * From: header shorter than 3 characters
  * Subject: header shorter than 2 characters
  * unusable Date: headers
  * inbox address specified in To: or Cc: header
    

ENVIRONMENT

The original recipient email address, set by the MTA. Postfix sets it by default, untested on other MTAs.

This does not have to be set if relying on "publicinbox.$NAME.listid" directives configured in public-inbox-config(5).

Per-user config file parseable by git-config(1). See public-inbox-config(5).

Default: ~/.public-inbox/config

emergency Maildir destination.

Default: ~/.public-inbox/emergency/
