NAME

SYNOPSIS
       ezmlm-weed

DESCRIPTION
       ezmlm-weed  reads  a mail message from its standard input.
       If it recognizes the message as an MTA warning message  or
       success  message, it exits 99; this will cause qmail-alias
       to skip all further delivery instructions if ezmlm-weed is
       run  from  a  .qmail file.  If the message seems innocent,
       ezmlm-weed exits 0.  ezmlm-weed exits 111 if it  runs  out
       of memory.
