+"""Accept posts to a list and handle them properly.
+
+The main advertised address for a list should be filtered to this program,
+through the mail wrapper.  E.g. for list `test@yourdomain.com', the `test'
+alias would deliver to this script.
+
+Stdin is the mail message, and argv[1] is the name of the target mailing list.
+
+Errors are redirected to logs/error.
