6 getmail_mbox - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-
7 format mbox file with fcntl-style locking.

10 getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH
11
13 Deliver a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox
14 file named PATH. PATH must start with a dot or a slash and must not
15 end with a slash. fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires
16 another type of locking (such as flock or dotlock ), use an MDA config‐
17 ured for that style of locking instead.
18
19 getmail_mbox uses the SENDER environment variable to construct a
20 Return-Path: header field and the contents of the RECIPIENT environment
21 variable to construct a Delivered-To: header field at the top of the
22 message. SENDER is also used in creating the mbox From_ line.
