FEMAIL(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 FEMAIL(8)

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.
