NAME¶
kuvert_submit - MTA wrapper for mail submission to
kuvert(1)
SYNOPSIS¶
kuvert_submit [sendmail-options] [recipients...]
DESCRIPTION¶
Kuvert_submit submits an email either directly to
sendmail(8) or enqueues
it for
kuvert(1) for further processing. kuvert_submit should be called
by your MUA instead of your usual MTA to enable kuvert to intercept and
process the outgoing mails. Please see your MUA's documentation about how to
override the MTA to be used.
Kuvert_submit transparently invokes "/usr/sbin/sendmail" directly if
it cannot find a ~/.kuvert configuration file, or if the -bv option is given.
Otherwise, it enqueues the email in the queue directory specified in the
configuration file. If that fails or if the configuration file is invalid,
kuvert_submit prints an error message to STDERR and terminates with exit code
1. On successful submission, kuvert_submit terminates with exit code 0.
Kuvert_submit also logs messages to syslog with the facility "mail".
OPTIONS¶
If it runs the MTA directly then kuvert_submit passes all options through to
/usr/sbin/sendmail. Otherwise, it ignores all options except -f and -t (and
-bv which triggers a direct sendmail pass-through).
- -f <emailaddress>
- Sets the envelope sender. Kuvert_submit passes this on to kuvert.
- -t
- Tells an MTA to use the recipients in the mail instead of any commandline
arguments. If -t is not given then kuvert_submit passes the recipients
from the commandline on to kuvert.
FILES¶
- ~/.kuvert
- The configuration file read by kuvert and kuvert_submit. If not present,
kuvert_submit calls /usr/sbin/sendmail directly.
- ~/.kuvert_queue
- The default queue directory.
