NAME

       rcvpack - asynchronously append message to mbox file

SYNOPSIS

       rcvpack [file] [-Version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rcvpack  program  will read a message on standard in, convert it and append it to the
       mbox file listed on the command line.

       The RFC 822 message is converted to the mbox format.  This is the format used by most mail
       clients (elm, mailx, etc.).  For the nitpickers: It's the mboxo format.

       rcvpack  will  correctly  lock  and  unlock the file to serialize access to the file, when
       running multiple copies of rcvpack .

       If no file argument is given, the converted  message  is  printed  to  standard  out.   No
       locking will be done in this case.

HISTORY

       Some  people  say that this tool would be obsoleted by the file action of slocal, although
       it might still have occasional uses in various shell scripts.

BUGS

       Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
