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.))
