+ − 41 <p>Since masqmail is intended to replace sendmail, it uses the same
+ − 42 command line options, but not all are implemented. There are also two
+ − 43 additional options, which are unique to masqmail (-qo
+ − 44 <connection> and -g) </p>
+ − 45
+ − 46 <b>-- </b>option:<br>
+ − 47
+ − 48 <p>Not a 'real' option, it means that all following arguments are to
+ − 49 be understood as arguments and not as options even if they begin with a
+ − 50 leading dash '-'. Mutt is known to call sendmail with this option.</p>
+ − 51
+ − 52 <b>-bd </b>option (daemon):<br>
+ − 53
+ − 54 <p>Run as daemon, accepting connections, usually on port 25 if not
+ − 55 configured differently. This is usually used in the startup script and
+ − 56 together with the -q option (see below).</p>
+ − 57
+ − 58 <b>-bi </b>option:<br>
+ − 59
+ − 60 <p>Old sendmail rebuilds its alias database when invoked with this
+ − 61 option. Masqmail ignores it. Masqmail reads directly from the file
+ − 62 given with <b>alias_file</b> in the config file.</p>
+ − 63
+ − 64 <b>-bp </b>option:<br>
+ − 65
+ − 66 <p>Show the messages in the queue. Same as calling masqmail as
+ − 67 'mailq'.</p>
+ − 68
+ − 69 <b>-bs </b>option:<br>
+ − 70
+ − 71 <p>Accept SMTP commands from stdin. Some mailers (eg pine) use this
+ − 72 option as an interface. It can also be used to call masqmail from
+ − 73 inetd, according to Tomislav Filipcic this works.</p>
+ − 74
+ − 75 <b>-B<arg></b>option:<br>
+ − 76
+ − 77 <p>arg is usually 8BITMIME. Some mailers use this to indicate that the
+ − 78 message contains characters > 127. Masqmail is 8-bit clean and
+ − 79 ignores this, so you do not have to recompile elm, which is very
+ − 80 painful ;-). Note though that this violates some conventions: masqmail
+ − 81 <em>does not</em> convert 8 bit messages to any MIME format if it
+ − 82 encounters a mail server which does not advertise its 8BITMIME capability,
+ − 83 masqmail does not advertise this itself. This is the same practice as
+ − 84 that of exim (but different to sendmail).</p>
+ − 85
+ − 86 <p>This <em>may</em> change in the future, but do not rely on it.</p>
+ − 87
+ − 88 <b>-C<filename></b>option:<br>
+ − 89
+ − 90 <p>Use another configuration than /etc/masqmail.conf. Useful for
+ − 91 debugging purposes.</p>
+ − 92
+ − 93 <b>-d <number> </b>option:<br>
+ − 94
+ − 95 <p>Set the debug level. This takes precedence before the value of
+ − 96 <b>debug_level</b> in the configuration file. Read the warning in the
+ − 97 description of the latter.</p>
+ − 98
+ − 99 <b>-g </b>option:<br>
+ − 100
+ − 101 <p>Get mail, using the configurations given with
+ − 102 <b>get.<name></b> in the main configuration.</p>
+ − 103
+ − 104 <b>-i </b>option:<br>
+ − 105
+ − 106 <p>Same as <b>-oi</b>, see below.</p>
+ − 107
+ − 108 <b>-oem </b>option:<br>
+ − 109
+ − 110 <p>If the <b>-oi</b> ist not also given, always return with a non zero
+ − 111 return code. Maybe someone tells me what this is good for... </p>
+ − 112
+ − 113 <b>-odb </b>option:<br>
+ − 114
+ − 115 <p>Deliver in background. Masqmail always does this.</p>
+ − 116
+ − 117 <b>-odq </b>option:<br>
+ − 118
+ − 119 <p>Do not attempt to deliver immediately. Any messages will be queued
+ − 120 until the next queue running process picks them up and delivers
+ − 121 them. You get the same effect by setting the <i>do_queue</i> option in
+ − 122 /etc/masqmail.conf.</p>
+ − 123
+ − 124 <b>-oi </b>option:<br>
+ − 125
+ − 126 <p>A dot as a single character in a line does <em>not</em> terminate
+ − 127 the message.</p>
+ − 128
+ − 129 <b>-q </b>option:<br>
+ − 130
+ − 131 <p>If not given with an argument, run a queue process, ie. try to
+ − 132 deliver all messages in the queue. Masqmail sends only to those
+ − 133 addresses that are on the <em>local</em> net, not to those that are
+ − 134 outside. Use -qo <connection> for those.</p>
+ − 135
+ − 136 <p>If you have configured inetd to start masqmail, you can use this
+ − 137 option in a cron job which starts in regular time intervals, to mimic
+ − 138 the same effect as starting masqmail with -bd -q30m.</p>
+ − 139
+ − 140 <p>An argument may be a time interval ie. a numerical value followed
+ − 141 by one of the letters. s,m,h,d,w which are interpreted as seconds,
+ − 142 minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively. Example: -q30m. Masqmail
+ − 143 starts as a daemon and a queue runner process will be started
+ − 144 automatically once in this time interval. This is usually used
+ − 145 together with -bd (see above).</p>
+ − 146
+ − 147 <b>-qo<name> </b>option:<br>
+ − 148
+ − 149 <p>Can be followed by a connection name. Use this option in your
+ − 150 script which starts as soon as a link to the internet has been set up
+ − 151 (usually ip-up). When masqmail is called with this option, the
+ − 152 specified route configuration is read and the queued mail with
+ − 153 destinations on the internet will be sent. The <b>name</b> is defined
+ − 154 in the configuration (see <b>connect_route.<name></b>).</p>
+ − 155
+ − 156 <p>If called without <name>, the online status is determined with
+ − 157 the configured method (see <b>online_detect</b> in <a
+ − 158 href="config.html">config.html</a>)</p>
+ − 159
+ − 160 <b>-t </b>option:<br>
+ − 161
+ − 162 <p>Read recipients from headers. Delete 'Bcc:' headers. If any
+ − 163 arguments are given, these are interpreted as recipient addresses and
+ − 164 the message will <em>not</em> be sent to these.</p>
