NAME

     extsmaild — robust sending of e-mail to external commands

SYNOPSIS

     extsmaild [-m mode] [-t] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

     extsmaild sends messages spooled by extsmail(1).  If called without -m specified, or if -m batch is
     specified, extsmaild operates in batch mode, running as a foreground process and terminating after trying
     to send all messages; it returns 0 if all messages were sent successfully, or 1 if any messages remain
     unsent.

     If called with the -m daemon switch, extsmaild operates as a long running daemon; it monitors the spool
     directory and when it notices changes to the directory (or a fixed period has elapsed) it tries to send any
     unsent messages. This means that even on unreliable networks, extsmaild can easily be left alone and relied
     upon to ultimately send all messages - without manual intervention.

     The -t flag can be specified to test the configuration files for extsmaild without running the mail sending
     process.

     The -v flag prints version info to stdout, then exits.
