|
|
.Nd configuration file for
|
|
.Xr mailwrapper 8
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa /etc/mail/mailer.conf
|
|
contains a series of lines of the form
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
.Ar program
|
|
.Op Ar arguments ...
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The first word of each line is the
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
of a program invoking
|
|
.Xr mailwrapper 8 .
|
|
(For example, on a typical system
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin/sendmail
|
|
would be a symbolic link to
|
|
.Xr mailwrapper 8 ,
|
|
as would
|
|
.Xr newaliases 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr mailq 1 .
|
|
Thus,
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
might be
|
|
.Dq Li sendmail
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li newaliases
|
|
etc.)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The second word of each line is the name of the
|
|
.Ar program
|
|
to actually execute when the first name is invoked.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The further
|
|
.Ar arguments ,
|
|
if any, are passed to the
|
|
.Ar program ,
|
|
followed by the arguments
|
|
.Xr mailwrapper 8
|
|
was called with.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The file may also contain comment lines, denoted by a
|
|
.Ql #
|
|
mark in the first column of any line.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The entire reason this program exists is a crock.
|
|
Instead, a command
|
|
for how to submit mail should be standardized, and all the "behave
|
|
differently if invoked with a different name" behavior of things like
|
|
.Xr mailq 1
|
|
should go away.
