NAME
       getmail_mbox - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-format mbox file with fcntl-style locking.

SYNOPSIS
       getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH

DESCRIPTION
       Deliver	a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox file named PATH.	PATH must start with a dot or a slash and must not
       end with a slash.  fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires another type of locking (such as flock or dotlock ), use an MDA con-
       figured for that style of locking instead.

       getmail_mbox  uses  the	SENDER environment variable to construct a Return-Path: header field and the contents of the RECIPIENT environment
       variable to construct a Delivered-To: header field at the top of the message.  SENDER is also used in creating the mbox From_ line.

       --verbose, -v
	      print a status message on success
