NAME

       vmsmaild - mail daemon for DECnet

SYNOPSIS

       vmsmaild [options]
       Options:
       [-vVhfU] [-l logtype]

DESCRIPTION

       vmsmaild  is  a	daemon	that forwards incoming VMSmail (or mail11) message to Unix users.  It should be started at system boot time (after
       DECnet has been started) and must be run as root. It is recommended that you run vmsmaild from dnetd(8)
       The options below affect the behaviour of vmsmaild. If you are using dnetd then these options should  be  specified  in	the  dnetd.conf(5)
       file.

OPTIONS

       -l     Set logging options. The following are available:
	      -lm Log to /dev/mono. (only useful if you have my mono monitor driver or mdacon and a second monitor)
	      -le Log to stderr. Use this for debugging or testing combined with -d.
	      -ls Log to syslog(3). This is the default if no options are given.

       -v     Verbose.	The  more  of  these there are the more verbose vmsmaild will be.  Don't use more than one for normal operation because it
	      will seriously impair performance.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of vmsmaild.

       -f     Accepts mail send with the MAIL/FOREIGN command. Setting this option complicates the decoding of all  mail  message  quite  substan-
	      tially  because  the remote end thinks it is talking to a VMS machine that understands RMS file formats. Only use this option if you
	      really need it.

       -U     Don't check that the reply user exists when starting up. If you only want to use linux as a recipient of mail from VMS  systems  and
	      don't  want to create a vmsmail user then set this option. See the Documentation/mail.README file for more information on setting up
	      a mail gateway.
