NAME

       vmsmaild - mail daemon for DECnet

SYNOPSIS

       vmsmaild [options]
       Options:
       [-vVhfU] [-l logtype]

DESCRIPTION

       vmsmaild  is  a  daemon  that  forwards incoming VMSmail (or mail11) message to Unix users.  It should be
       started at system boot time (after DECnet has been started) and must be run as root.  It  is  recommended
       that you run vmsmaild from dnetd(8)
       The  options  below affect the behaviour of vmsmaild. If you are using dnetd then these options should be
       specified in the dnetd.conf(5) file.

OPTIONS

       -l     Set logging options. The following are available:
              -lm Log to /dev/mono. (only useful if you have my mono monitor  driver  or  mdacon  and  a  second
              monitor)
              -le Log to stderr. Use this for debugging or testing combined with -d.
              -ls Log to syslog(3). This is the default if no options are given.

       -v     Verbose.  The  more of these there are the more verbose vmsmaild will be.  Don't use more than one
              for normal operation because it will seriously impair performance.

       -h -?  Displays help for using the command.

       -V     Show the version of vmsmaild.

       -f     Accepts mail send with the MAIL/FOREIGN command. Setting this option complicates the  decoding  of
              all  mail message quite substantially because the remote end thinks it is talking to a VMS machine
              that understands RMS file formats. Only use this option if you really need it.

       -U     Don't check that the reply user exists when starting up. If you  only  want  to  use  linux  as  a
              recipient  of  mail from VMS systems and don't want to create a vmsmail user then set this option.
              See the Documentation/mail.README file for more information on setting up a mail gateway.
