bounced (or bounced.pl) - Mailing List Bounce Processing Daemon for WWSympa

## SYNOPSYS

**bounced** \[ **-F** \] \[ **-d, -dF** \]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the bounced command.

List owners will latter access bouces information via WWSympa.

These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (\`-').  A summary of options is included below.

- **-F**

  Do not detach TTY.

- **-d**, **-dF**

  Run the program in a debug mode.

## FILES

*/etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf* WWSympa configuration file.
