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>
