NAME¶

rmail - handle remote mail received via uucp

SYNOPSIS¶

/usr/sbin/rmail recipient ...

DESCRIPTION¶

Rmail is a wrapper around masqmail. It reads a mail message on standard input and passes it to masqmail's standard input. Rmail only removes the first line from the input and constructs the return path from it.

Such a first line:

From user Wed Jan 9 12:43:35 1985 remote from host Date: 9 Jan 1985 8:39 EST

would generate this call to masqmail:

masqmail -i -f user@host -- bob@example.org

(If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))

BUGS¶

Address translations from domain!user to user@domain is not done. This rmail program is only very basic. See sendmail for a more sophisticated rmail implementation.
