NAME
qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message
SYNOPSIS
qmail-local
[
-nN
]
user
homedir
local
dash
ext
domain
sender
defaultdelivery
DESCRIPTION
qmail-local
reads a mail message
and delivers it to
user
by the procedure described in
dot-qmail(5).
The message's envelope recipient is
local@domain.
qmail-local
records
local@domain
in a new
Delivered-To
header field.
If exactly the same
Delivered-To: local@domain
already appears in the header,
qmail-local
bounces the message,
to prevent mail forwarding loops.
The message's envelope sender is
sender.
qmail-local
records
sender
in a new
Return-Path
header field.
homedir
is the user's home directory.
It must be an absolute directory name.
dash
and
ext
identify the
.qmaildashext
file used by
qmail-local;
see
dot-qmail(5).
Normally
dash
is either empty or a lone hyphen.
If it is empty,
qmail-local
treats a nonexistent
.qmailext
the same way as an empty
.qmailext:
namely, following the delivery instructions in
defaultdelivery.
The standard input for
qmail-local
must be a seekable file,
so that
qmail-local
can read it more than once.
OPTIONS
- -n
-
Instead of reading and delivering the message,
print a description of the delivery instructions.
- -N
-
(Default.) Read and deliver the message.
EXIT CODES
0 if the delivery is completely successful;
nonzero if any delivery instruction failed.
Exit code 111
indicates temporary failure.
