NAME¶
extsmaild —
robust sending of e-mail to
external commands
SYNOPSIS¶
DESCRIPTION¶
extsmaild sends messages spooled by
extsmail(1). If called without
-m
specified, or if
-m batch is
specified,
extsmaild operates in batch mode, running as a
foreground process and terminating after trying to send all messages; it
returns
0 if all messages were sent successfully, or
1 if any messages remain unsent.
If called with the
-m daemon switch,
extsmaild operates as a long running daemon; it monitors the
spool directory and when it notices changes to the directory (or a fixed
period has elapsed) it tries to send any unsent messages. This means that even
on unreliable networks,
extsmaild can easily be left alone
and relied upon to ultimately send all messages - without manual intervention.
