NAME

     dbounce-simple-safecat - store double-bounced email messages into a
     Maildir

SYNOPSIS

     dbounce-simple-safecat [-a addr] [-d dir] [-i queueid] [-t type] -f msg

DESCRIPTION

     The dbounce-simple-safecat utility reads an email message file from the
     local MTA’s queue directory and invokes the safecat(1) utility to store
     it into a Maildir-format directory for the administrator’s perusal.  It
     is intended to be used as a double-bounce handler by mail transfer agents
     such as dma(8) (when dma’s DBOUNCEPROG configuration setting is
     specified).

     The dbounce-simple-safecat utility accepts the following command-line
     options; only -f is mandatory:

     -a addr     The recipient of the bounce message.

     -d dir      The bounce directory, /var/spool/mail/dma-bounces by default.

     -f msg      The full path to the bounced message to process.

     -i queueid  The ID of the bounce message in the local MTA’s queue.

     -t type     The MTA type, currently unused.

EXAMPLES

     Copy a message from the local dma(8) queue into the default double-bounce
     Maildir:

           dbounce-simple-safecat -a roam@ringlet.net -i 40c1b8.882e250 -t dma
           -f /var/spool/dma/40c1b8.882e250

     A minimal execution with only the mandatory parameters:

           dbounce-simple-safecat -f /var/spool/dma/40c1b8.882e250

     Explicitly specify the destination directory:

           dbounce-simple-safecat -d /root/bounces -f
           /var/spool/dma/40c1b8.882e250

EXIT STATUS

     The dbounce-simple-safecat utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
     occurs.
