nullmailer-queue(8)					      System Manager's Manual					       nullmailer-queue(8)

NAME
nullmailer-queue - insert mail messages into the queue SYNOPSIS
nullmailer-queue DESCRIPTION
This program reads a formatted mail message from standard input and safely injects it into the outgoing mail queue. The data sent into standard input is expected to have the following format: one line containing the envelope sender, one or more lines con- taining the recipients, a single blank line, and then the contents of the message exactly as it is to be transmitted to the destination. All lines are terminated with a single line-feed character. All addresses must contain a fully-qualified domain name. RETURN VALUE
Exits 0 if it successfully queues the message. If it failed to queue the message, it exits 1 and prints an error message to stdandard out- put. CONTROL FILES
adminaddr If this file is not empty, all recipients to users at either "localhost" (the literal string) or the canonical host name (from /etc/mailname) are remapped to this address. This is provided to allow local daemons to be able to send email to "somebody@local- host" and have it go somewhere sensible instead of being bounced by your relay host. OTHER FILES
/var/spool/nullmailer/queue The directory into which the completed messages are moved. /var/spool/nullmailer/tmp The directory in which messages are formed temporarily. /var/spool/nullmailer/trigger A pipe used to trigger nullmailer-send to immediately start sending the message from the queue. SEE ALSO
nullmailer-inject(1), nullmailer-send(8) LIMITATIONS
This program should enforce system-wide configurable message length limits. nullmailer-queue(8)
