PACKAGE
nfs
SYNOPSIS
pc-maild [delay]
DESCRIPTION
This program should be run on the nfs file server that exports
mail directories to MS-DOS pc-mail users. It replaces the
(MS-DOS -> UNIX) transmission function of the MS-DOS cico
program.
The per-user mail directories (default: /usr/spool/pc-mail/user)
are scanned for outgoing mail every delay seconds (default: 300).
When outgoing mail is found, it is sent through the UNIX rmail program
(uucp mail interface) and the corresponding files are removed from the
user's mail directory.
The program should run with root privileges. It will assume
the (uid, gid) of the sending user before accessing mail files.
COMMANDS
rmail(1), uucp mail interface program
FILES
/usr/spool/pc-mail/user/dNNNNN, mail message (unsent mail)
/usr/spool/pc-mail/user/xNNNNN, recipients, subject (unsent mail)
/usr/spool/pc-mail/user/qNNNNN, mail message (sent mail)
/usr/spool/pc-mail/user/rNNNNN, recipients, subject (sent mail)
(NNNNN is the pc-mail "message id").
SEE ALSO

DIAGNOSTICS
Errors found during initialization cause the program to
terminate with a diagnostic on the standard error stream.
All other errors are considered transient, i.e. if something
fails, it is tried again at a later time. Where possible,
diagnostics are logged through the syslog facility.
BUGS
Scanning mail directories is an inefficient way to detect
unsent mail.
