.SH NAME
gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt \- the qmail-queue substitue \fIgpgpy-ezmlm-queue\fR
calls this script to decrypt and reencrypt outgoing mails of the
ezmlm-idx mailing list manager.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt
check
.br
.B gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt
[\fIMAILINGLIST_DIR\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt reads a mail from descriptor 0. It then reads the envelope
information from descriptor 1. It assumes that the given mailing list directory
is configured to be encrypted. It tries to decrypt the message and to encrypt
it then for every single recipient given by the envelope information.
Afterwards it hands the reencrypted mail and the respective envelope
information over to qmail-queue (or a similar substitute like ifspamh).
.PP
Read the manual of \fIqmail-queue\fR(8) to find out more details about the
interface of qmail-queue - except for the optional mailing list directory
argument it is identical to gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt.
.PP
gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt supports encrypted inline and multipart messages. Only
parts that had to be decrypted are also encrypted for the recipients. So
plaintext parts of a message will be delivered as plaintext, too.
.SH SELF-TESTS
If you call gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt without an argument, then it only runs some
self-tests. This should ensure that the environment of gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt
works in a sane way.
.PP
If no problems were encountered, then the resulting exit code will be zero.
A value of 81 indicates a serious problem.
.SH MAILING LIST DIRECTORY
Every ezmlm mailing list is stored in a separate directory. It contains all
subscribers, moderators, the configuration and the archive of sent messages.
Read the manual of ezmlm(5) for further details.
.PP
Encrypted mailing list directories differ from normal ones by the existence of
the file \fBconf-gpgpy\fR. See the manual of conf-gpgpy(5) for details.
.PP
The mailing list directory most likely also contains a gnupg directory for
storing the private and public keys available to the list. The location of this
directory is configured via conf-gpgpy(5).
.SH EXIT CODES
The exit codes of gpgpy-ezmlm-encrypt are similar to the ones defind in the
manual of qmail-queue(8). In contrast to qmail-queue, you may also expect some
error messages at STDERR.
