EXTSMAIL(1)                OpenBSD Reference Manual                EXTSMAIL(1)

NAME
     extsmaild - robust sending of e-mail to external commands

SYNOPSIS
     extsmaild [-m mode]

DESCRIPTION
     extsmaild sends messages spooled by extsmail(1).  If called without -m
     specified, or if -m batch is specified, extsmaild operates in batch mode,
     running as a foreground process and terminating after trying to send all
     messages; it returns 0 if all messages were sent successfully, or 1 if
     any messages remain unsent.

     If called with the -m daemon switch, extsmaild operates as a long running
     daemon; it monitors the spool directory and when it notices changes to
     the directory (or a fixed period has elapsed) it tries to send any unsent
     messages. This means that even on unreliable networks, extsmaild can eas-
     ily be left alone and relied upon to ultimately send all messages - with-
     out manual intervention.
