meillo@56:
Since masqmail is intended to replace sendmail, it uses the same meillo@56: command line options, but not all are implemented. There are also two meillo@56: additional options, which are unique to masqmail (-qo meillo@56: <connection> and -g) meillo@56: meillo@56: -- option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Not a 'real' option, it means that all following arguments are to meillo@56: be understood as arguments and not as options even if they begin with a meillo@56: leading dash '-'. Mutt is known to call sendmail with this option. meillo@56: meillo@56: -bd option (daemon):meillo@56: meillo@56: Run as daemon, accepting connections, usually on port 25 if not meillo@56: configured differently. This is usually used in the startup script and meillo@56: together with the -q option (see below). meillo@56: meillo@56: -bi option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Old sendmail rebuilds its alias database when invoked with this meillo@56: option. Masqmail ignores it. Masqmail reads directly from the file meillo@56: given with alias_file in the config file. meillo@56: meillo@56: -bp option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Show the messages in the queue. Same as calling masqmail as meillo@56: 'mailq'. meillo@56: meillo@56: -bs option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Accept SMTP commands from stdin. Some mailers (eg pine) use this meillo@56: option as an interface. It can also be used to call masqmail from meillo@56: inetd, according to Tomislav Filipcic this works. meillo@56: meillo@56: -B<arg>option:meillo@56: meillo@56: arg is usually 8BITMIME. Some mailers use this to indicate that the meillo@56: message contains characters > 127. Masqmail is 8-bit clean and meillo@56: ignores this, so you do not have to recompile elm, which is very meillo@56: painful ;-). Note though that this violates some conventions: masqmail meillo@56: does not convert 8 bit messages to any MIME format if it meillo@56: encounters a mail server which does not advertise its 8BITMIME capability, meillo@56: masqmail does not advertise this itself. This is the same practice as meillo@56: that of exim (but different to sendmail). meillo@56: meillo@56:This may change in the future, but do not rely on it. meillo@56: meillo@56: -C<filename>option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Use another configuration than /etc/masqmail.conf. Useful for meillo@56: debugging purposes. meillo@56: meillo@56: -d <number> option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Set the debug level. This takes precedence before the value of meillo@56: debug_level in the configuration file. Read the warning in the meillo@56: description of the latter. meillo@56: meillo@56: -g option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Get mail, using the configurations given with meillo@56: get.<name> in the main configuration. meillo@56: meillo@56: -i option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Same as -oi, see below. meillo@56: meillo@56: -oem option:meillo@56: meillo@56: If the -oi ist not also given, always return with a non zero meillo@56: return code. Maybe someone tells me what this is good for... meillo@56: meillo@56: -odb option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Deliver in background. Masqmail always does this. meillo@56: meillo@56: -odq option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Do not attempt to deliver immediately. Any messages will be queued meillo@56: until the next queue running process picks them up and delivers meillo@56: them. You get the same effect by setting the do_queue option in meillo@56: /etc/masqmail.conf. meillo@56: meillo@56: -oi option:meillo@56: meillo@56: A dot as a single character in a line does not terminate meillo@56: the message. meillo@56: meillo@56: -q option:meillo@56: meillo@56: If not given with an argument, run a queue process, ie. try to meillo@56: deliver all messages in the queue. Masqmail sends only to those meillo@56: addresses that are on the local net, not to those that are meillo@56: outside. Use -qo <connection> for those. meillo@56: meillo@56:If you have configured inetd to start masqmail, you can use this meillo@56: option in a cron job which starts in regular time intervals, to mimic meillo@56: the same effect as starting masqmail with -bd -q30m. meillo@56: meillo@56:An argument may be a time interval ie. a numerical value followed meillo@56: by one of the letters. s,m,h,d,w which are interpreted as seconds, meillo@56: minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively. Example: -q30m. Masqmail meillo@56: starts as a daemon and a queue runner process will be started meillo@56: automatically once in this time interval. This is usually used meillo@56: together with -bd (see above). meillo@56: meillo@56: -qo<name> option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Can be followed by a connection name. Use this option in your meillo@56: script which starts as soon as a link to the internet has been set up meillo@56: (usually ip-up). When masqmail is called with this option, the meillo@56: specified route configuration is read and the queued mail with meillo@56: destinations on the internet will be sent. The name is defined meillo@56: in the configuration (see connect_route.<name>). meillo@56: meillo@56:If called without <name>, the online status is determined with meillo@56: the configured method (see online_detect in config.html) meillo@56: meillo@56: -t option:meillo@56: meillo@56: Read recipients from headers. Delete 'Bcc:' headers. If any meillo@56: arguments are given, these are interpreted as recipient addresses and meillo@56: the message will not be sent to these. meillo@56: | ||||
