NAME

vpopbull - Delivers pop bulletins to virtual users


SYNOPSIS

vpopbull [--quiet]


DESCRIPTION

Scans bulletin directories for any which are newer than the .timestamp file in the specified maildir. For each bulletin that it finds, it adds a symlink to that bulletin to the specified maildir. Since no reformatting is done, these bulletins must be fully formatted email messages, including full headers.

This program is designed to be run from checkvpw-postsetuid.


OPTIONS

--quiet

Suppress all status messages.


RETURN VALUE

Exits false if an error occurred during startup, true otherwise.


ENVIRONMENT

This program expects the environment variable HOME to be set, and executes a change directory to the contents of it before starting.

This program expects MAILDIR to be set, and delivers any bulletins that it finds into this maildir.

If VUSER is set, a local bulletin directory is searched as above.


FILES

The following control files are used:

global-bulletin-dir

This specifies the bulletin directory for all domains.

bulletin-dir

This specifies the bulletin (sub)directory for virtual domains.


SEE ALSO

vmailmgr(7), checkvpw(8), configuration.html


NOTES

If either the global or local bulletin directories do not exist, they are silently ignored without failing.
