NAME
qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message
SYNOPSIS
qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain
sender defaultdelivery
DESCRIPTION
qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by
the procedure described in dot-qmail(5).
The message's envelope recipient is local@domain. qmail-
local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header
field. If exactly the same Delivered-To: local@domain
already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the
message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.
The message's envelope sender is sender. qmail-local
records sender in a new Return-Path header field.
homedir is the user's home directory. It must be an
absolute directory name.
dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-
local; see dot-qmail(5). Normally dash is either empty or a
lone hyphen. If it is empty, qmail-local treats a
nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext:
namely, following the delivery instructions in
defaultdelivery.
The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file,
so that qmail-local can read it more than once.
OPTIONS
-n Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a
description of the delivery instructions.
-N (Default.) Read and deliver the message.
EXIT CODES
0 if the delivery is completely successful; nonzero if any
delivery instruction failed. Exit code 111 indicates
temporary failure.
