Changed lockdir to /var/lock/masqmail; Create lockdir and piddir on startup.
Moved the lockdir out of the spool dir. (When /var/lock is a ramdisk
we do well to have the lock files there.) Added the new configure option
--with-lockdir to change that location. Nontheless, if we run_as_user,
then lock files are always stored in the spool dir directly.
Instead of installing the lockdir and piddir at installation time, we
create them on startup time now if they are missing. This is necessary
if lockdir or piddir are a tmpfs.

1 .TH rmail 8 2012-01-18 masqmail-0.3.4 "Maintenance Commands"
3 .SH NAME
4 rmail \- handle remote mail received via uucp
7 .SH SYNOPSIS
8 \fB/usr/sbin/rmail \fIrecipient ...\fR
11 .SH DESCRIPTION
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.
17 Such a first line:
19 From user Wed Jan 9 12:43:35 1985 remote from host Date: 9 Jan 1985 8:39 EST
21 would generate this call to masqmail:
23 masqmail \-i \-f user@host \-\- bob@example.org
25 (If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))
