NAME

       qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-lspawn defaultdelivery

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-lspawn  reads a series of local delivery commands from descriptor 0, invokes qmail-local to perform
       the deliveries, and prints the results to descriptor 1.  It passes defaultdelivery to qmail-local as  the
       default delivery instruction.

       qmail-lspawn  invokes  qmail-local  asynchronously,  so  the  results may not be in the same order as the
       commands.

       For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds out which local user  controls  that  address.   It  first
       checks  the  qmail-users  mechanism;  if the address is not listed there, it invokes qmail-getpw.  qmail-
       lspawn then runs qmail-local under the user's uid and gid.  It does not set up any supplementary groups.

       qmail-lspawn treats an empty mailbox name as a trash address.
