sympa_automatic, sympa_automatic.pl - Automatic list creation daemon

       Sympa_automatic.pl is a program which scans permanently the automatic creation spool and processes each
       message.

       If the list a message is bound for has not been there and list creation is authorized, it will be
       created.  Then the message is stored into incoming message spool again and wait for processing by
       sympa_msg.pl.
