extsmaild — robust
sending of e-mail to external commands
extsmaild |
[-m mode]
[-t] [-v] |
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 easily be left alone and relied upon
to ultimately send all messages - without manual intervention.
The -t flag can be specified to test the
configuration files for extsmaild without running
the mail sending process.
The -v flag prints version info to stdout,
then exits.
