10: \f4smtpqer\fP \- queue mail for delivery by \s-1SMTP\s+1
11: .SH SYNOPSIS
12: \f4smtpqer\f1 [ \f4\-nu\f1 ] [ \f4\-a\f2 toaddr\f1 ] [ \f4\-d\f2 domain\f1 ]
13: [ \f4\-H\f2 helohost \f1]\f2 sender host recip ...
14: .SH DESCRIPTION
15: \f4smtpqer\fP queues the mail message it reads from standard input for
16: eventual delivery by \f4smtp\fP.
17: The message is queued for delivery to the host specified in the \f2to\fP address.
18: .P
19: \f4smtpqer\fP should normally be invoked by the \f4mail\fP command by placing
20: the following line in \f4/etc/mail/mailsurr\fP:
21: .P
22: .nf
23: \f4\(aa.+\(aa \(aa([^!@]+)!(.+)\(aa \(aa< /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/smtpqer %R \e\e1 \e\e2\(aa\fP
24: .fi
25: .P
26: \f4smtpqer\fP will check the host name in the \f2to\fP address.
27: If it is one that can be reached (i.e., if \f4netdir_getbyname\fP(3) can find
28: it on at least one
29: .SM TLI
30: network), the message will be queued, and
31: \f4smtpqer\fP will exit with a return code of 0 (which means the mail
32: was successfully queued).
33: Otherwise, it will return with an exit code of 1, and the message will
34: not be queued.
35: .P
36: Messages that are queued are stored in a file under the
37: .SM SMTP
38: queue directory (\f4/var/spool/smtpq\fP).
39: If the \f4\-u\fP option is not used, they are first converted to RFC822
40: format, by filtering them through the program \f4tosmtp\fP.
41: Finally, \f4smtpqer\fP invokes the \f4smtpsched\fP program to
42: deliver the mail.
43: .P
44: The \f4\-H\fP option is used to specify the host name that should
45: be used in the
46: .SM SMTP
47: .SM HELO
48: message.
49: This option is passed to both the \f4tosmtp\fP and \f4smtp\fP programs.
50: .P
51: The \f4\-d\fP option is used to specify the domain name that should
52: be used for your host.
53: This option is passed to the \f4tosmtp\fP program.
54: If this option is not used, and a domain has been specified in the
55: mail configuration file \f2mailcnfg\fP, that domain will be used instead.
56: .P
57: The \f4\-a\fP option is used to specify the ``to address'' that is passed
58: to the \f4smtp\fP program.
59: Finally, the \f4\-n\fP option is used to prevent \f4smtpqer\fP from starting
60: an \f4smtpsched\fP process to deliver the mail.
