NAME

       pycmail - mail sorter

SYNOPSIS

       pycmail [-d debuglevel] [-t] [-c conffile] [file1 file2 file3 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pycmail is a mail sorter similar to procmail, written in python, using python syntax for mail delivery.

OPTIONS

       file1  file2 ...  read mails from file1 file2 ... instead of from stdin (useful for mail postprocessing)

       -d level, --debuglevel level
	      set debuglevel to level.

       -t     testing mode. No mail delivery will be done. Use in conjuction with -d

       -c conffile, --config=conffile
	      use file conffile as a user configuration file (instead of ~/.pycmailrc )

       -D define
	      add  define to the DEFINES list (this can be tested later in the .pycmailrc to modify the behaviour).  Can be repeated several times
	      to add more strings.

USAGE

       pycmail should be invoked automatically from the .forward file when mail arrives.

       Default debuglevel is 0, which means pycmail tries to deliver mail in almost foolproof way: if there is any  error  in  ~/.pycmailrc  file,
       mail will be delivered to the default mailbox (such as /var/spool/mail/USERNAME ).

       If  the	debuglevel  is 1, any error in ~/.pycmailrc file will be printed, resulting in bounced mail (but pycmail will still try to deliver
       the mail to default mailbox).

       Higher debuglevels will print more information about the actual mail processing. The bigger the debuglevel, the more  detailed  information
       is printed.

       To test your configuration, do something like this:
       formail -s pycmail -d 2 -t < your_test_mailbox_file

MAIL(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   MAIL(1)

NAME

       mail - send and receive electronic mail

SYNOPSIS

       mail [-dpqrv] [-f file] [user]

OPTIONS

       -d     Force use of the shell variable MAILER

       -f     Use file instead of /usr/spool/mail/user as mailbox

       -p     Print all mail and then exit

       -q     Quit program if SIGINT received

       -r     Reverse print order, i.e., print oldest first

       -v     Verbose mode

EXAMPLES

       mail ast 	   # Send a message to ast

       mail		   # Read your mail

DESCRIPTION

       Mail  is  an  extremely simple electronic mail program.	It can be used to send or receive email on a single MINIX system, in which case it
       functions as user agent and local delivery agent.  If the flag MAILER is defined in mail.c, it can also call a transport  agent	to  handle
       remote mail as well.  No such agent is supplied with MINIX.

       When  called  by  user  with no arguments, it examines the mailbox /usr/spool/mail/user, prints one message (depending on the -r flag), and
       waits for one of the following commands:

	 <newline> Go to the next message
	 -	   Print the previous message
	 !command  Fork off a shell and execute command
	 CTRL-D    Update the mailbox and quit (same as q)
	 d	   Delete the current message and go to the next one
	 q	   Update the mailbox and quit (same as CTRL-D)
	 p	   Print the current message again
	 s [file]  Save message in the named file
	 x	   Exit without updating the mailbox

       To send mail, the program is called with the name of the recipient as an
       argument.  The mail is sent, along with a postmark line containing the date.
       For local delivery, a file named after the recipient in the directory
       /usr/spool/mail must be writable.

       If the directory /usr/spool/mail does not exist then the mail is
       dumped on the console, so that system programs have a way to notify
       a user on a system that does not have a mail spool.
