PROJECT
pc-mail
PACKAGE
nfs
SYNOPSIS
pc-mail user
DESCRIPTION
This program is to be run on the nfs server that exports mail
directories to MS-DOS pc-mail users. The program replaces the
UNIX -> MS-DOS file transfer function of the MS-DOS cico
program.
Normally, the pc-mail delivery program is invoked by sendmail(8).
Its purpose is to deliver new mail in the mail directory of the
specified user (default /usr/spool/pc-mail/user).
Any error conditions detected by the pc-mail delivery program
are reported back in a sendmail-compatible manner.
This program must be run with root privileges. It will assume
the (uid, gid) of the specified user before delivering mail.
The program attempts to create any missing directories, and to
correct ownerships or protections where needed.
FILES
/usr/spool/pc-mail/user/nNNNNN, mail message.
/usr/spool/pc-mail/user/hNNNNN, sender of message and subject.
(NNNNN is the pc-mail "message id").
SEE ALSO
pc-maild(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
All conceivable error conditions cause the program to terminate
with a non-zero exit status, after printing an error message on
the standard error stream, and appending an entry to the system log.
See <sysexits.h> for details.
BUGS
There is no way to notify a pc-mail user of the arrival of new mail.
