DAMNIT(8) DAMNIT(8) NAME
damnit - DAtabase MaNagement InTerface SYNOPSIS
damnit [-h] [-d <file> <value>] [-a <file> <value>] [-f <string>] [-l <file>] DESCRIPTION
damnit is the database management tool for gnarwl(8) sys- temadministra- tors to list and/or manipulate gnarwl's database files. It is not intented to be employed by the average user, who should use LDAP as the only interface to gnarwl(8) OPTIONS
-h Print usage information -f <string> Select output format for database listing (only meaningful with -l). <string> is the template for what the output should look like. The following macros are recognized: %entry, %time, %tstamp, and . Translating to the entry itself, the entrytime (in human readable form), the entry- time (as time- stamp), a newline character, and a tab character. The default format is: "%time -> %entry ". Don't forget the trailing new- line. -d <file> [<value>] Delete <value> from <file>. If <value> is omited, damnit will read <value> from stdin (one per line), until ei- ther EOF or an empty line is detected. -a <file> [<value>] Add <value> to <file>. If <value> is already stored in <;file>, damnit will only update the timestamp. If <val- ue>; is omited, damnit will read <value> from stdin (one per line), until either EOF or an emtpy line is detected. -l <file> List database file specified by <file>. DATABASE FILES
gnarwl uses hashfiles for storing information on disk. Meaning, all datasets consist of key and value pairs. The key is always a NULL ter- minated character string, while the value contains the timestamp, when the key was entered (last time) into the file. This timestamp is of type time_t (as returned by time(2)) and therefore, gnarwl's database files are not copyable between different system architec- tures. AUTHOR

/tmp/buildd/gnarwl-3.6.dfsg/debian/gnarwl/var/lib/gnarwl/block/* Every file in this directory represents an emailad- dress, gnarwl (already) received a mail for. Every time, gnarwl sends out an autorreply for an address, the recepient of that mail is locked into the according file. gnarwl will not send any further autoreplies for this sender/receiver combo, until the timeout specified in gnarwl.cfg expires. /tmp/buildd/gnarwl-3.6.dfsg/debian/gnarwl/var/lib/gnarwl/blacklist.db Emailaddresses listed as keys in this file are not subject to autoresponding (the addresses of root, postmaster, webmaster and the like should be put herin). Note: The complete mailaddress, as it would appear in an email, must be speci- fied here, as gnarwl checks these "as-is". /tmp/buildd/gnarwl-3.6.dfsg/debian/gnarwl/var/lib/gnarwl/badheaders.db Each entry in this file represent a line that may not occur in the header of a received email. That is, gnarwl won't reply to any mail, it is able to match a headerline with an entry in this file. DAMNIT(8)

MAIL.LOCAL(8) System Manager's Manual MAIL.LOCAL(8) NAME
mail.local - store mail in a mailbox SYNOPSIS
mail.local [-7] [-B] [-b] [-d] [-D mbdb] [-l] [-s] [-f from|-r from] [-h filename ] user ... DESCRIPTION
Mail.local reads the standard input up to an end-of-file and appends it to each user's mail file. The user must be a valid user name. The options are as follows: -7 Do not advertise 8BITMIME support in LMTP mode. -B Turn off the attempts to notify the ``biff'' service. -b Return a permanent error instead of a temporary error if a mailbox exceeds quota. -d Specify this is a delivery (for backward compatibility). This option has no effect. -D mbdb Specify the name of the mailbox database which is used to look up local recipient names. This option defaults to "pw", which means use getpwnam(). -f from Specify the sender's name. -l Turn on LMTP mode. -s Turn off the fsync(2) call that forces the mailbox to be committed to disk before returning a "success" status. -r from Specify the sender's name (for backward compatibility). Same as -f. -h filename Store incoming mail in filename in the user's home directory instead of a system mail spool directory. The next options are only available if mail.local has been compiled with -DHASHSPOOL. -H hashtypehashdepth Select hashed mail directories. Valid hash types are u for user name and m for MD5 (requires compilation with -DHASHSPOOLMD5). Example: -H u2 selects user name hashing with a hash depth of 2. Note: there must be no space between the hash type and the depth. -p path Specify an alternate mail spool path. -n Specify that the domain part of recipient addresses in LMTP mode should not be stripped. Individual mail messages in the mailbox are delimited by an empty line followed by a line beginning with the string ``From ''. A line con- taining the string ``From '', the sender's name and a time stamp is prepended to each delivered mail message. A blank line is appended to each message. A greater-than character (``>'') is prepended to any line in the message which could be mistaken for a ``From '' delimiter line (that is, a line beginning with the five characters ``From '' following a blank line). The mail files are exclusively locked with flock(2) while mail is appended, and a user.lock file also is created while the mailbox is locked for compatibility with older MUAs. If the ``biff'' service is returned by getservbyname(3), the biff server is notified of delivered mail. The mail.local utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs. ENVIRONMENT
TZ Used to set the appropriate time zone on the timestamp. FILES

mail.local escapes only "^From " lines that follow an empty line. If all lines starting with "From " should be escaped, use the 'E' flag for the local mailer in the sendmail.cf file. HISTORY
A superset of mail.local (handling mailbox reading as well as mail delivery) appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX as the program mail. $Date: 2013-11-22 20:51:51 $ MAIL.LOCAL(8)
