- Changes during the port to Amiga:
-
- .qmail file names
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Amiga: When a message is received for an extension address containing '.',
- ':' or '/', all such characters are changed to ';' before looking for a
- .qmail file.
-
- Unix: '.' is changed to ':'.
-
-
- .qmail delivery instructions
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Amiga: If the first character is a '|', qmail takes the rest of the line as a
- programme to execute and pipes the message to the programme on standard
- input.
-
- If the first character is a '&', qmail forwards to the address following the
- '&'.
-
- If the first character is any other character, qmail check the last
- character on the line. If it is a '/', qmail uses the line as the name of a
- maildir to deliver the message to, otherwise it treats as the name of a
- mailbox file.
-
- Unix: '|' -> programme, "./" or '/' -> file/dir, everything else -> address
-
- User home dirs
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Amiga: User home directories must contain a ':' in position two or higher.
- Unix: User home directories must start with '/'.
-
- In both cases, this guarantees an absolute path name.
- See also "User home directories".
-
- Signals
- ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- See "qmail signals".
