NAME
     fromsmtp - receive RFC822 mail from SMTP

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/fromsmtp [-d] [-h host] [-s sender] to ...

DESCRIPTION
     fromsmtp reads an RFC822 message from its standard input, does some
     conversion of the message to make it acceptable to Reliant UNIX system
     mail, and pipes the result to rmail. The to arguments are passed as
     arguments to rmail. fromsmtp is normally invoked by smtpd to deliver
     incoming mail messages.

     The -d option may be used for debugging fromsmtp. It will cause the
     command line for rmail to be echoed to standard output, as well as the
     results of the message (after conversion). The message will not be
     given to rmail when this option is used.

     The -h host option may be used to prepend a host or network name to
     the front of the sender path in the From line at the beginning of the
     message. This is useful if you need to identify which of several pos-
     sible networks a message was received from (for possible use in reply-
     ing).

     The -s sender option is used to give a default sender name, in case
     fromsmtp cannot determine the name of the sender from the message it
     reads. If this option is not used, the default sender name unknown
     will be used.
