NAME

     femail -- accept mail on behalf of a real MTA

SYNOPSIS

     femail [-46tv] [-f from] [-F name] [address ...]

DESCRIPTION

     femail is intended to be used on servers that do not run a real MTA or inside chroot(8) environments.  It features a sendmail(8)-compatible
     command line interface and forwards mail via SMTP to the host given in the config file, an environment variable or localhost.

     The options are as follows:

     -4        Only use IPv4.

     -6        Only use IPv6.

     -F name   Set the sender's name to name.

     -f from   Set the sender address to from.	Normally, femail tries to parse the sender from the message, and uses login@hostname if that is
	       not present.

     -t        Read recipients from the message given on stdin, in addition to the recipients given on the command line.

     -v        Enable verbose operation.

CONFIG FILE

     The config file, /etc/femail.conf, consists of simple name=value pairs.  The supported settings are as follows:

     smtphost  Specify the server femail should send the messages to.

     smtpport  Specify the port femail uses on smtphost to send the messages.  Default is 25.

     myname    The hostname femail uses.  Defaults to the machine's hostname.

ENVIRONMENT

     SMTPHOST	      Forward mail to the given host instead of the local host.  Only consulted when not set in the config file.

     SMTPPORT	      Connect to the given port instead of 25.	Only consulted when not set in the config file.

NAME

       local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.

DESCRIPTION

       The  local.users  file  contains  a  list  of  user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
       name@hostname.  Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4)  for
       a description of other local users.

       You  can  add  entries  to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
       mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server.  You are adding  aliases	to  the  /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
       file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.

       A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
       ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.

       The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines.  Multiple user name can  be  specified  on  a  line.
       Blank lines are ignored.  A comment mark (#) ends the line.

       After  modifying  the  local.users  file,  you  must  restart  the  sendmail  daemon  to  apply	the changes.  Use the following command: #
       /sbin/init.d/sendmail restart

EXAMPLES

       root postmaster rw  # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.

       # Another comment.  mariah    # Another comment.
	  carey  # Leading blanks are acceptable.

FILES

       Specifies the path name for the file.
