Provided by: getmail_5.5-3_all bug

NAME
       getmail_mbox  - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-format mbox file with fcntl-style
       locking.


SYNOPSIS
       getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH


DESCRIPTION
       Deliver a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox file named PATH.  PATH  must  start
       with a dot or a slash and must not end with a slash.  fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires
       another type of locking (such as flock or dotlock ), use an MDA configured  for  that  style  of  locking
       instead.

       getmail_mbox  uses  the  SENDER  environment  variable  to  construct a Return-Path: header field and the
       contents of the RECIPIENT environment variable to construct a Delivered-To: header field at  the  top  of
       the message.  SENDER is also used in creating the mbox From_ line.

       --verbose, -v
              print a status message on success
