+<description>
+<p>MasqMail is a mail server designed for hosts that do
+not have a permanent internet connection eg. a home network or a
+single host at home. It has special support for connections to
+different ISPs. It replaces sendmail or other MTAs such as qmail or
+exim. It can also act as a pop3 client.</p>
+</description>
+
+<options>
+<p>Since masqmail is intended to replace sendmail, it uses the same
+command line options, but not all are implemented. There are also two
+additional options, which are unique to masqmail (-qo <arg>connection</arg> and -g)
+</p>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>--</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Not a 'real' option, it means that all following arguments are to
+be understood as arguments and not as options even if they begin with a
+leading dash '-'. Mutt is known to call sendmail with this option.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-bd</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Run as daemon, accepting connections, usually on port 25 if not
+configured differently. This is usually used in the startup script at system boot and
+together with the -q option (see below).</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-bi</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Old sendmail rebuilds its alias database when invoked with this
+option. Masqmail ignores it. Masqmail reads directly from the file
+given with <b>alias_file</b> in the config file.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-bp</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Show the messages in the queue. Same as calling masqmail as
+'mailq'.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-bs</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Accept SMTP commands from stdin. Some mailers (eg pine) use this
+option as an interface. It can also be used to call masqmail from
+inetd.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-B <arg>arg</arg></opt></p>
+<optdesc><p><arg>arg</arg> is usually 8BITMIME. Some mailers use this
+to indicate that the message contains characters &gt; 127. Masqmail is
+8-bit clean and ignores this, so you do not have to recompile elm,
+which is very painful ;-). Note though that this violates some
+conventions: masqmail <em>does not</em> convert 8 bit messages to any
+MIME format if it encounters a mail server which does not advertise
+its 8BITMIME capability, masqmail does not advertise this itself. This
+is the same practice as that of exim (but different to
+sendmail).</p></optdesc></option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-bV </opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Show version information.</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-C </opt><arg>filename</arg></p>
+<optdesc><p>Use another configuration than <file>/etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf</file>. Useful for
+debugging purposes. If not invoked by a privileged user, masqmail will drop all privileges.
+</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-d <arg>number</arg></opt></p>
+<optdesc>
+<p>Set the debug level. This takes precedence before the value of
+<b>debug_level</b> in the configuration file. Read the warning in the
+description of the latter.
+</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-f [<arg>address</arg>]</opt></p>
+<optdesc>
+<p>Set the return path address to <arg>address</arg>. Only root, the
+user mail and anyoune in group trusted is allowed to do that.</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-F [<arg>string</arg>]</opt></p>
+<optdesc>
+<p>Set the full sender name (in the From: header)
+to <arg>string</arg>.</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-g [<arg>name</arg>]</opt></p>
+<optdesc>
+<p>Get mail (using pop3 or apop), using the configurations given
+with <b>get.<arg>name</arg></b> in the main configuration. Without <arg>name</arg>,
+all get configurations will be used. See also <manref
+name = "masqmail.get" section="5" href="masqmail.get.5.html"/></p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-go [<arg>interval</arg>] [<arg>name</arg>]</opt></p>
+<optdesc>
+<p>Can be followed by a connection name. Use this option in your
+script which starts as soon as a link to the internet has been set up
+(usually ip-up). When masqmail is called with this option, the
+specified get configuration(s) is(are) read and mail will be
+retrieved from servers on the internet.
+The <arg>name</arg> is defined
+in the configuration (see <opt>online_gets.<arg>name</arg></opt>).
+</p><p>
+If called with an interval option (recognized by a digit
+as the first characater), masqmail starts as a daemon and tries to
+get mail in these intervals. It checks for the online status first.
+Example: masqmail -go 5m will retrieve mail
+all five minutes.
+</p><p>
+If called without <arg>name</arg> the online status is determined with
+the configured method (see <opt>online_detect</opt> in <a
+href="config.html">config.html</a>).
+</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-i</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Same as <b>-oi</b>, see below.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-Mrm <arg>list</arg></opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Remove given messages from the queue. Only allowed for privileged users.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-oem</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>If the <b>-oi</b> ist not also given, always return with a non zero
+return code. Maybe someone tells me what this is good for...</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-odb</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Deliver in background. Masqmail always does this, which
+makes this option pretty much useless.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-odq</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Do not attempt to deliver immediately. Any messages will be queued
+until the next queue running process picks them up and delivers
+them. You get the same effect by setting the <i>do_queue</i> option in
+/etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-oi</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>A dot as a single character in a line does <em>not</em> terminate
+the message.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-q [<arg>interval</arg>]</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>If not given with an argument, run a queue process, ie. try to
+deliver all messages in the queue. Masqmail sends only to those
+addresses that are on the <em>local</em> net, not to those that are
+outside. Use -qo for those.</p>
+<p>
+If you have configured inetd to start masqmail, you can use this
+option in a cron job which starts in regular time intervals, to mimic
+the same effect as starting masqmail with -bd -q30m.
+</p><p>
+An argument may be a time interval ie. a numerical value followed
+by one of the letters. s,m,h,d,w which are interpreted as seconds,
+minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively. Example: -q30m. Masqmail
+starts as a daemon and a queue runner process will be started
+automatically once in this time interval. This is usually used
+together with -bd (see above).
+</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-qo [<arg>name</arg>]</opt></p>
+<optdesc>
+<p>Can be followed by a connection name. Use this option in your
+script which starts as soon as a link to the internet has been set up
+(usually ip-up). When masqmail is called with this option, the
+specified route configuration is read and the queued mail with
+destinations on the internet will be sent. The <arg>name</arg> is defined
+in the configuration (see <opt>online_routes.<arg>name</arg></opt>).
+</p><p>
+If called without <arg>name</arg> the online status is determined with
+the configured method (see <opt>online_detect</opt> in <a
+href="config.html">config.html</a>)
+</p>
+</optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-t</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Read recipients from headers. Delete 'Bcc:' headers. If any
+arguments are given, these are interpreted as recipient addresses and
+the message will <em>not</em> be sent to these.</p></optdesc>
+</option>
+
+<option>
+<p><opt>-v</opt></p>
+<optdesc><p>Log also to stdout. Currently, some log messages are
+marked as 'write to stdout' and additionally, all messages with
+priority 'LOG_ALERT' and 'LOG_WARNING' will be written to stdout
+if this option is given. It is disabled in daemon mode.
+</p></optdesc>

+<section name = "Environment for pipes and mdas">
+
+<p>For security reasons, before any pipe command from an alias

+<p>SENDER_DOMAIN - the domain part of the return path.</p>
+<p>SENDER_LOCAL - the local part of the return path.</p>
