NAME
qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries
SYNOPSIS
qmail-lspawn
defaultdelivery
DESCRIPTION
qmail-lspawn
reads a series of local delivery commands from descriptor 0,
invokes
qmail-local
to perform the deliveries,
and prints the results to descriptor 1.
It passes
defaultdelivery
to
qmail-local
as the default delivery instruction.
qmail-lspawn
invokes
qmail-local
asynchronously,
so the results may not be in the same order as the commands.
For each recipient address,
qmail-lspawn
finds out which local user controls that address.
It first checks the
qmail-users
mechanism; if the address is not listed there, it invokes
qmail-getpw.
qmail-lspawn
then runs
qmail-local
under the user's uid and gid.
It does not set up any supplementary groups.
qmail-lspawn
treats an empty mailbox name as a trash address.
