NAME

       pycmail - mail sorter

SYNOPSIS

       pycmail [-d debuglevel] [-t] [-c conffile] [file1 file2 file3 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       pycmail  is  a mail sorter similar to procmail, written in python, using python syntax for
       mail delivery.

OPTIONS

       file1  file2 ...  read mails from file1 file2 ... instead of from stdin (useful  for  mail
              postprocessing)

       -d level, --debuglevel level
              set debuglevel to level.

       -t     testing mode. No mail delivery will be done. Use in conjuction with -d

       -c conffile, --config=conffile
              use file conffile as a user configuration file (instead of ~/.pycmailrc )

       -D define
              add  define  to  the  DEFINES  list  (this can be tested later in the .pycmailrc to
              modify the behaviour).  Can be repeated several times to add more strings.

USAGE

       pycmail should be invoked automatically from the .forward file when mail arrives.

       Default debuglevel is 0, which means pycmail tries to deliver  mail  in  almost  foolproof
       way:  if  there  is  any error in ~/.pycmailrc file, mail will be delivered to the default
       mailbox (such as /var/spool/mail/USERNAME ).

       If the debuglevel is 1, any error in ~/.pycmailrc  file  will  be  printed,  resulting  in
       bounced mail (but pycmail will still try to deliver the mail to default mailbox).

       Higher  debuglevels  will  print  more  information  about the actual mail processing. The
       bigger the debuglevel, the more detailed information is printed.

       To test your configuration, do something like this:
       formail -s pycmail -d 2 -t < your_test_mailbox_file
