If the message has a ``Precedence: junk'' header, ezmlm-reject exits 99 causing the message to be ignored. This causes replies from (some) vacation programs to be ignored.

If dir is specified, ezmlm-reject reads dir/msgsize for a maximum:minimum message body size in bytes. Either number will be ignored if 0 or omitted. ezmlm-reject will also look for dir/mimereject and dir/mimeremove. if dir/mimereject exists, Messages of the Content-Types specified or with MIME parts of these types will be rejected. If dir/mimeremove exists, ezmlm-reject will reject messages of the Content-Types specified. These content-types will be accepted as parts of a composite MIME message. They will be stripped out later by ezmlm-send(1).

ezmlm-reject will exit 100 (permanent error) for rejections. If the list address is not in the message ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' headers and the -t switch is active, the exit code is 100 or 99, depending on the -q switch (see below). If you would like to forward messages instead of rejecting them, you can into the appropriate .qmail file put:

|condredirect newaddress except /path/ezmlm-reject DIR

Now rejected posts will go to this address, and the recipient can take appropriate action.

-b

Reject the message if the message body starts ``subscribe'' or ``unsubscribe''. If the -c switch is specified, messages will also be rejected if the subject starts with these words. -B (Default.) Do not reject messages starting ``subscribe'' or ``unsubscribe''.

-c

(Default.) Commands are not permitted in the Subject line. A Subject line consisting solely of HELP, REMOVE, SUBSCRIBE, or UNSUBSCRIBE is rejected.

-C

Commands are permitted in the subject line.

-h

Reject message if any of the headers in dir/headerreject occur in the header. Mailing-List headers of other mailing list managers can be put into this file, one per line, to prevent processing of messages from other mailing lists. dir must be specified.

A reasonable set of headers would be: ``Mailing-List'', ``X-ml-name'', ``ml-name'',``X-loop'',``X-listprocessor-version'',``X-mailing-list''. Case is not important.

-H

(Default.) Ignore dir/headerreject. -q Quiet. If the message due to the lack of the list address (see -t) is not accepted, this is logged but no error message is sent to the sender.

-q

Quiet. If a message due to the lack of the list address (see -t) is not accepted, the message is silently ignored.

-Q

(Default.) Not quiet. If a message due to the lack of the list address (see -t) is not accepted, the sender is notified by an error message.

-s

(Default.) A nonempty Subject line is required.

-S

A Subject line is not required.

-t

(Default.) Reject messages that do not have the list address in the ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' header(s). ezmlm-reject needs access to dir/outhost and dir/outlocal to check this. This check is silently omitted if dir is not specified, to assure backwards compatibility with existing ezmlm lists.

-T

Do not require the list address in the ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' header(s).
