       NAME
             maillog - standard mail logger

       SYNOPSIS
             maillog [-f date_format] [-m mode] [-O original_recipient] [-o output_file]
                   return_path recipient [other_info . . .] [-- . . .]

       DESCRIPTION
             /usr/lib/mail/surrcmd/maillog is a standard mail logger that
             may be used within the surrogate file as a standard mail post
             processor.  For example:

                  '.+'  '.+'  '> W=1;B=*; maillog -o /var/mail/:log'
                        '-O %O %R %n %l --'
                  '.+'  '.+'  'Errors W=1;B=*; maillog -o /var/mail/:errors'
                        '-O %O %R %n %l --'

             maillog is approximately equivalent to
                   echo "`date` $1 -> $2  ($3 ...)" >> /var/mail/:log/Monday

             maillog recognizes the following options:

             -f    Specify an alternate format to use for the date.
                   date_format uses the format specifiers for strftime(3C).

             -m    Specify the mode of the output_file; the mode is
                   modified to include group write permission to permit
                   group mail to write to the file.  (The mode used also
                   does not include execute permission.)

             -o    Specify a directory to hold the files to append the
                   output.  Otherwise the output is written to the standard
                   output.

                   If the output_directory does not exist, it will be
                   created with mode 0770.

             -O    If original_recipient is specified and is different from
                   the recipient name, it is recorded after the recipient
                   name.

             If an argument of -- is given, subsequent arguments are used
             as another recipient, complete with new options.

            If the Enhanced Security Utilities are installed and running,
            /var/mail is a Multi-Level Directory; a separate log file is
            created for each Mandatory Access Control level at which mail
            is delivered.
