qmail-rspawn(8) System Manager's Manual qmail-rspawn(8)NAME
qmail-rspawn - schedule remote deliveries
SYNOPSIS
qmail-rspawn
DESCRIPTION
qmail-rspawn reads a series of remote delivery commands from descriptor 0, invokes qmail-remote to perform the deliveries, and prints the
results to descriptor 1.
qmail-rspawn invokes qmail-remote asynchronously, so the results may not be in the same order as the commands.

qmail-start(8) System Manager's Manual qmail-start(8)NAME
qmail-start - turn on mail delivery
SYNOPSIS
qmail-start [ defaultdelivery [ logger arg ... ] ]
DESCRIPTION
qmail-start invokes qmail-send, qmail-lspawn, qmail-rspawn, and qmail-clean, under the proper uids and gids. These four daemons cooperate
to deliver messages from the queue.
qmail-start arranges for qmail-send's activity record to be sent to qmail-start's output. See qmail-log(5) for the format of the activity
record. Other than this, qmail-start does not print anything, even on failure.
If defaultdelivery is supplied, qmail-start passes it to qmail-lspawn.
If logger is supplied, qmail-start invokes logger with the given arguments, and feeds qmail-send's activity record through logger.
Environment variables given to qmail-start will eventually be passed on to qmail-local, so make sure to clean up the environment if you run
qmail-start manually:
# env - PATH="/var/lib/qmail/bin:$PATH"
qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail &
(all on one line)
Resource limits, controlling ttys, et al. are also passed from qmail-start to qmail-local.
Note that qmail-send normally juggles several simultaneous deliveries. To reduce qmail-send's impact on other programs, you can run qmail-
start with a low priority.
