rmail_bsd(1)                   DG/UX R4.11MU05                  rmail_bsd(1)


NAME
       rmailbsd - handle remote mail received via uucp

SYNOPSIS
       rmailbsd recipient ...

DESCRIPTION
       rmailbsd interprets incoming mail received via uucp(1), collapsing
       ``From'' lines into a single line of the form ``return-path!sender'',
       and passing the processed mail on to sendmail(1M) for delivery.
       rmailbsd is explicitly designed for use with uucp and sendmail .

       By default in DG/UX, rmail is a symbolic link to rmailsysv4 rather
       than rmailbsd.  When using this default setup with UUCP based mail,
       mail headers may be regenerated by sendmail leaving the return
       address incorrect.  If, when using UUCP based mail, a user encounters
       problems with the return address being set to a uucp login such as
       "From: uucp", he should use rmailbsd.  One way to use rmailbsd is
       to change the /usr/bin/rmail symbolic link on the system receiving
       mail so that it points to rmailbsd instead of rmailsysv4.  The
       other way to use rmailbsd is to edit either the sendmail.cf or
       mailsurr file on the remote uucp system(s).  The file you edit
       depends on which method that particular system uses to pass on uucp
       mail.  Edit the file such that rmailbsd is invoked instead of rmail.
