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.
