NAME

       lr_spool - feed files in a spooldir to a command

SYNOPSIS

       lr_spool spooldir command

DESCRIPTION

       For each file f in directory spooldir, lr_spool generates a unique LR_ID, exports it as a shell variable, and runs

	command < f

       . Before executing command, f is moved to $TMPDIR. If command exits successfully, f is removed (command is assumed to save stdin to a file,
       if it feels this is appropriate), else f is moved to LR_FAILEDDIR.

       In case any of spooldir, TMPDIR or LR_FAILEDDIR doesn't exist, it's created on the fly.

       This script is invoked by lr_spoold(1), which uses lr_processmail(1) as the command.

BUGS

       The directory spooldir is created using plain mkdir -p.	If spooldir is supposed to be part of a Maildir structure, only .../new/ is
       created.  This does not satisfy for a valid Maildir.  One has to verify manually wether spooldir is part of a valid Maildir, and create it
       manually, on such a system.
