lr_spool.in(1)
NAME
lr_spool - feed files in a spooldir to a command
SYNOPSIS
lr_spool spooldir command
DESCRIPTION
- For each file f in directory spooldir, lr_spool generates a unique
LR_ID, exports it as a shell variable, and runs
- command < f
- . Before executing command, f is moved to $TMPDIR. If command exits successfully, f is removed (command is assumed to save stdin to a file, if it feels this is appropriate), else f is moved to LR_FAILEDDIR.
- In case any of spooldir, TMPDIR or LR_FAILEDDIR doesn't exist, it's created on the fly.
- This script is invoked by lr_spoold(1), which uses lr_processmail(1) as the command.
BUGS
The directory spooldir is created using plain mkdir -p. If spooldir is
supposed to be part of a Maildir structure, only .../new/ is created.
This does not satisfy for a valid Maildir. One has to verify manually
wether spooldir is part of a valid Maildir, and create it manually, on
such a system.
