NAME

       buildd-mail - mail answer processor for buildd

SYNOPSIS

       buildd-mail
       buildd-mail-wrapper

VERSION

       This  man  page documents the packaged version of buildd-mail.  This version is maintained
       by        the        buildd-tools        project        developers        on        Alioth
       (https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/).

       There  is also a version maintained by Ryan Murray which is adapted to build daemon needs,
       with similar functionality.  This version should be equally capable of working in a buildd
       setup, but has a number of enhancements aimed at making it suitable for use by end-users.

DESCRIPTION

       buildd-mail processes incoming mail for the buildd user.

       buildd-mail-wrapper was a setuid wrapper for buildd-mail, which has been removed and is no
       longer required.  It has been kept as a symbolic link  to  buildd-mail  for  compatibility
       purposes, but is obsolete and will removed in a future release.

SETUP

       The buildd user should have a file ~/.forward with the following contents:

       |/usr/bin/buildd-mail-wrapper

       This will ensure all incoming mail will be processed using buildd-mail.

FILES

       /etc/buildd/buildd.conf
              Configuration,  maintained  by  the  system  administrator.   This  may  be used to
              override the defaults.

       ~/.builddrc
              User-specific configuration.

       ~/.forward
