22 .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
meillo@0
|
23
|
|
meillo@34
|
24 Masqmail is a mail server designed for hosts that do not have a permanent internet connection
|
|
meillo@34
|
25 e.g. a home network or a single host at home.
|
|
meillo@34
|
26 It has special support for connections to different ISPs.
|
|
meillo@34
|
27 It replaces sendmail or other MTAs such as qmail or exim.

|

meillo@0
|
31
|
|
meillo@34
|
32 Since masqmail is intended to replace sendmail, it uses the same command line options,
|
|
meillo@34
|
33 but not all are implemented.
|
|
meillo@34
|
34 There are also two additional options, which are unique to masqmail
|
|
meillo@34
|
35 (\fB\-qo \fIconnection\fR and \fB\-g\fR)

40 Not a `real' option, it means that all following arguments are to be understood
|
|
meillo@34
|
41 as arguments and not as options even if they begin with a leading dash `\-'.
|
|
meillo@34
|
42 Mutt is known to call sendmail with this option.

|

meillo@34

48 This is usually used in the startup script at system boot and together with
|
|
meillo@34
|
49 the \fB\-q\fR option (see below).

54 Old sendmail rebuilds its alias database when invoked with this option.
|
|
meillo@34
|
55 Masqmail ignores it.
|
|
meillo@34
|
56 Masqmail reads directly from the file given with `alias_file' in the config file.

67 Some mailers (e.g. pine) use this option as an interface.

|

|
72
|
|
meillo@34
|
73 \fIarg\fR is usually 8BITMIME.
|
|
meillo@34
|
74 Some mailers use this to indicate that the message contains characters > 127.
|
|
meillo@34
|
75 Masqmail is 8-bit clean and ignores this, so you do not have to recompile elm,
|
|
meillo@34
|
76 which is very painful ;-).
|
|
meillo@34
|
77 Note though that this violates some conventions:
|
|
meillo@34
|
78 masqmail does not convert 8 bit messages to any MIME format if it encounters
|
|
meillo@34
|
79 a mail server which does not advertise its 8BITMIME capability,
|
|
meillo@34
|
80 masqmail does not advertise this itself.
|
|
meillo@34
|
81 This is the same practice as that of exim (but different to sendmail).

153 If not given with an argument, run a queue process, i.e. try to deliver all messages in the queue.
|
|
meillo@34
|
154 Masqmail sends only to those addresses that are on the local net, not to those that are outside.
|
|
meillo@34
|
155 Use \fB\-qo\fR for those.

156
|
|
meillo@34
|
157 If you have configured inetd to start masqmail,
|
|
meillo@34
|
158 you can use this option in a cron job which starts in regular time intervals,
|
|
meillo@34
|
159 to mimic the same effect as starting masqmail with \fB\-bd \-q30m\fR.
|
|
meillo@0
|
160
|
|
meillo@34
|
161 An argument may be a time interval i.e. a numerical value followed by one of the letters.
|
|
meillo@34
|
162 s,m,h,d,w which are interpreted as seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively.
|
|
meillo@34
|
163 Example: \fB\-q30m\fR.
|
|
meillo@34
|
164 Masqmail starts as a daemon and a queue runner process will be started automatically
|
|
meillo@34
|
165 once in this time interval.
|
|
meillo@34
|
166 This is usually used together with \fB\-bd\fR (see above).

171 Can be followed by a connection name.
|
|
meillo@34
|
172 Use this option in your script which starts as soon as a link to the internet
|
|
meillo@34
|
173 has been set up (usually ip-up).
|
|
meillo@34
|
174 When masqmail is called with this option, the specified route configuration
|
|
meillo@34
|
175 is read and the queued mail with destinations on the internet will be sent.
|
|
meillo@34
|
176 The \fIname\fR is defined in the configuration (see \fBonline_routes.\fIname\fR).
|
|
meillo@0
|
177
|
|
meillo@34
|
178 If called without \fIname\fR the online status is determined with the configured

185 Delete `Bcc:' headers.
|
|
meillo@106
|
186 (Since 0.2.25, masqmail deletes Bcc: headers in all cases.)
|
|
meillo@34
|
187 If any arguments are given, these are interpreted as recipient addresses
|
|
meillo@103
|
188 and the message will not be sent to these,
|
|
meillo@103
|
189 although they might appear in To:, Cc:, or Bcc: headers.
|
|
meillo@103
|
190 I.e. the set of argument recipients is ``substracted'' from the set of header recipients.
|
|
meillo@103
|
191
|
|
meillo@103
|
192 This behavior is similar to exim's and smail's.
|
|
meillo@103
|
193 Postfix, in contrast, adds the arguments to the set of header recipients.
|
|
meillo@103
|
194 Sendmail seems to behave differently, depending on the version.
|
|
