NAME
qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries
SYNOPSIS
qmail-lspawn defaultdelivery
DESCRIPTION
qmail-lspawn reads a series of local delivery commands from
descriptor 0, invokes qmail-local to perform the deliveries,
and prints the results to descriptor 1. It passes
defaultdelivery to qmail-local as the default delivery
instruction.
qmail-lspawn invokes qmail-local asynchronously, so the
results may not be in the same order as the commands.
For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds out which
local user controls that address. It first checks the
qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not listed there,
it invokes qmail-getpw. qmail-lspawn then runs qmail-local
under the user's uid and gid. It does not set up any
supplementary groups.
qmail-lspawn treats an empty mailbox name as a trash
address.
