manual formating of Received: hdrs; changed hdr for local receival Now the Received: headers are much friendlier to read. About folding: We must fold any line at 998 chars before transfer. We should fold the lines we produce at 78 chars. That is what RFC 2821 requests. We should think about it, somewhen. The header for locally (i.e. non-SMTP) received mail is changed to the format postfix uses. This matches RFC 2821 better. The `from' clause should contain a domain or IP, not a user name. Also, the `with' clause should contain a registered standard protocol name, which ``local'' is not.

11 .SH DESCRIPTION
12
13 Rmail is a wrapper around masqmail.
14 It reads a mail message on standard input and passes it to masqmail's standard input.
15 Rmail only removes the first line from the input and constructs the return path from it.
16
17 Such a first line:
18
19 From user Wed Jan 9 12:43:35 1985 remote from host Date: 9 Jan 1985 8:39 EST
20
21 would generate this call to masqmail:
22
23 masqmail \-i \-f user@host \-\- bob@example.org
24
25 (If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))
