rewrite(4)                                                rewrite(4)


       NAME
             rewrite, rewrite.samp - file used for mail message header
             rewriting

       DESCRIPTION
             /etc/mail/rewrite controls the rewriting of a mail message.
             This file is written in the mailR language, which is somewhat
             similar to awk(1).  /etc/mail/rewrite.samp contains sample
             functions written in the mailR language.

             The rewrite file consists of a series of function definitions,
             including one named main and one named local.  The main
             function is executed after a mail message is read in by mail.
             The local function is executed before a mail message is
             delivered locally.  Further functions may be executed later
             because of references within the /etc/mail/mailsurr file.

             See the file /rewrite.sample for examples of lines that may be
             included in the /etc/mail/rewrite file for header rewriting.
