nullmailer-queue(5)
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.
