Heavy refactoring in parts of conf.c. init_conf() parse_boolean() parse_list_file() Re-arrangement of code. parse_address_glob_list() Removed unneccessary parameter. parse_list() parse_interface(): Use strtok()/strchr() instead of doing is all by hand. Removed limitation of fixed size buffer. eat_comments() Use a state machine. eat_line_trailing() eat_spaces() read_lval() Better structured code. read_conf() read_route() Removed magic numbers. Made all list type in the config files accept pathname entries, except for `permanent_routes' and `query_routes.' for which this is impossible.

.TH rmail 8 2012-01-18 masqmail-0.3.4 "Maintenance Commands"

.SH NAME
rmail \- handle remote mail received via uucp


.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB/usr/sbin/rmail \fIrecipient ...\fR


.SH DESCRIPTION

Rmail is a wrapper around masqmail.
It reads a mail message on standard input and passes it to masqmail's standard input.
Rmail only removes the first line from the input and constructs the return path from it.

Such a first line:

From user Wed Jan  9 12:43:35 1985 remote from host Date: 9 Jan 1985   8:39 EST

would generate this call to masqmail:

masqmail \-i \-f user@host \-\- bob@example.org

(If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))
