NAME

       nullmailer-queue - insert mail messages into the queue

SYNOPSIS

       nullmailer-queue

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  reads  a  formatted mail message from standard input and
       safely injects it into the outgoing mail queue.

       The data sent into standard input is expected  to  have  the  following
       format:  one  line  containing  the  envelope sender, one or more lines
       containing the recipients, a single blank line, and then  the  contents
       of  the  message exactly as it is to be transmitted to the destination.
       All lines are  terminated  with  a  single  line-feed  character.   All
       addresses must contain a fully-qualified domain name.

RETURN VALUE

       Exits  0  if it successfully queues the message.  If it failed to queue
       the message, it exits 1  and  prints  an  error  message  to  stdandard
       output.

CONTROL FILES

       adminaddr
              If  this  file  is  not empty, all recipients to users at either
              "localhost" (the literal string)  or  the  canonical  host  name
              (from  /etc/mailname)  are  remapped  to  this address.  This is
              provided to allow local daemons to be  able  to  send  email  to
              "somebody@localhost"  and  have it go somewhere sensible instead
              of being bounced by your relay host.

OTHER FILES

       /var/spool/nullmailer/queue
              The directory into which the completed messages are moved.

       /var/spool/nullmailer/tmp
              The directory in which messages are formed temporarily.

       /var/spool/nullmailer/trigger
              A pipe used to  trigger  nullmailer-send  to  immediately  start
              sending the message from the queue.

LIMITATIONS

       This  program  should  enforce  system-wide configurable message length
       limits.
