.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Mail is a shell script that invokes
|
|
|
|
|
.IR nedmail (1),
|
|
|
|
|
the mail reader,
|
|
|
|
|
when no recipients appear on the command line and
|
|
|
|
|
.IR marshal (1),
|
|
|
|
|
the mail preparer,
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
All command line options are passed through.
|
|
|
|
|
See the man pages for those two commands for
|
|
|
|
|
more details.
|

.PP
|
|
|
|
|
Incoming mail for a user
|
|
|
|
|
.I username
|
|
|
|
|
is put in the file
|
|
|
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username /mbox
|
|
|
|
|
unless either the file
|
|
|
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username /forward
|
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username /pipeto
|
|
|
|
|
exists.
|
|
|
|
|
The mailbox must have append-only and exclusive-access mode
|
|
|
|
|
(see
|
|
|
|
|
.IR chmod (1)).
|
|
|
|
|
A user must create his or her own mailbox using the
|
|
|
|
|
.B -c
|
|
|
|
|
option of
|
|
|
|
|
.IR nedmail (1).
|
|
|
|
|
Mailboxes are created writable (append-only) but not readable by others.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
If the file
|
|
|
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username /forward
|
|
|
|
|
exists and is readable by everyone, incoming mail
|
|
|
|
|
will be forwarded to the addresses contained in the first line of the file.
|
|
|
|
|
The file may contain multiple addresses.
|
|
|
|
|
Forwarding loops are caught and resolved by local delivery.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
If the file
|
|
|
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username /pipeto
|
|
|
|
|
exists and is readable and executable by everyone,
|
|
|
|
|
it will be run for each incoming message for the user.
|
|
|
|
|
The message will be piped to it rather
|
|
|
|
|
than appended to his/her mail box.
|
|
|
|
|
The file is run as user
|
|
|
|
|
.BR none .

|
|
|
(e.g.,
|
|
|

|
.BR local!gremlin )
|
|
|
|
|
and the user's mail box path
|
|
|
|

(e.g.,
|
|
|
|
|
.BR /mail/box/gremlin/mbox )

|
|

|
|
|
|
file that uses
|
|
|
|
|

If

|
|
|
|
.B /mail/box/$user/gone.msg
|
|
|
|
|
exists, it
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
.B /mail/lib/gone.msg
|
|
|
|

will be sent.
|
|
|
|
|
Upon your return, remove

|
|
|
|
.B /mail/box/$user/gone.fishing
|
|
|
|
|
to stop automatic responses.
