mmaaiill..llooccaall - store mail in a mailbox
SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
mmaaiill..llooccaall [--ff _f_r_o_m] _u_s_e_r _._._.
DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
MMaaiill..llooccaall reads the standard input up to an end-of-file and appends it
to each _u_s_e_r_'_s _m_a_i_l file. The _u_s_e_r must be a valid user name.
The options are as follows:
--ff _f_r_o_m Specify the sender's name.
Individual mail messages in the mailbox are delimited by an empty line
followed by a line beginning with the string ``From ''. A line contain-
ing the string ``From '', the sender's name and a time stamp is prepended
to each delivered mail message. A blank line is appended to each mes-
sage. A greater-than character (``>'') is prepended to any line in the
message which could be mistaken for a ``From '' delimiter line.
The mail files are exclusively locked with flock(2) while mail is append-
ed.
If the ``biff'' service is returned by getservbyname(3), the biff server
is notified of delivered mail.
The mmaaiill..llooccaall utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
