NAME
getmail_mbox - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-format mbox file with fcntl-style locking.
SYNOPSIS
getmail_mbox
[OPTION] PATH
DESCRIPTION
Deliver a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox file named
PATH. PATH must start with a dot or a slash and must not end with a slash.
fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires another type of locking
(such as
flock
or
dotlock
), use an MDA configured for that style of locking instead.
getmail_mbox
uses the SENDER environment variable to construct a
Return-Path:
header field and the contents of the RECIPIENT environment variable to construct
a
Delivered-To:
header field at the top of the message. SENDER is also used in creating the
mbox
From_
line.
- --verbose, -v
-
print a status message on success
