NAME

       buildd-mail - mail answer processor for buildd

SYNOPSIS

       buildd-mail
       buildd-mail-wrapper

VERSION

       This  man  page  documents  the  packaged version of buildd-mail.  This
       version is maintained by the buildd-tools project developers on  Alioth
       (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/).

       There  is  also a version maintained by Ryan Murray which is adapted to
       build daemon needs, with similar functionality.  This version should be
       equally  capable  of  working  in  a  buildd setup, but has a number of
       enhancements aimed at making it suitable for use by end-users.

DESCRIPTION

       buildd-mail processes incoming mail for the buildd user.

       buildd-mail-wrapper was a setuid wrapper  for  buildd-mail,  which  has
       been removed and is no longer required.  It has been kept as a symbolic
       link to buildd-mail for compatibility purposes,  but  is  obsolete  and
       will removed in a future release.

SETUP

       The  buildd  user  should  have  a  file  ~/.forward with the following
       contents:

       |/usr/bin/buildd-mail-wrapper

       This will ensure all incoming mail will be processed using buildd-mail.

FILES

       /etc/buildd/buildd.conf
              Configuration, maintained by the system administrator.  This may
              be used to override the defaults.

       ~/.builddrc
              User-specific configuration.

       ~/.forward
              Mail forwarding configuration.
