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
