rmail

handle reception of remote mail

Syntax:

rmail user...

Options:

user
Specify a user name.

Description:

The rmail utility interprets mail received via mailx, collapsing ``From'' lines in the form generated by mailx into a single line of the form:

return_path!sender

The utility then passes the processed mail on to sendmail.

Note that rmail is designed specifically for use with sendmail.


Note: If mail facilities (e.g. UUCP) are currently used on the QNX network, a conflict may exist between the rmail used by some mail systems and the rmail supplied with QNX TCP/IP. The rmail supplied with QNX TCP/IP is shipped as /usr/ucb/rmail.sendmail to prevent overwriting an existing rmail. To use the QNX setup, create the following links:
ln -s /usr/ucb/rmail.sendmail /usr/ucb/rmail
