mbmail - Mail User Agent for the email gate.

Synopsys.

mbmail -r<addr> -g<grade> -c<charset> -b <recip>

 

Description.

mbmail is the Mail User Agent that should be called by your Internet mailer to deliver mail to Fidonet systems. This program must always run as user mbse so your mailer must be capable of doing so. The Postfix mailer I use can do that.

Commandline options.

mbfile -r<addr> -g<grade> -c<charset> -b <recip> The -r<addr> is the address to route the packet to. This should normal be set by the Internet mailer to one of your aka's. The -g<grade> is the packet flavor. This can be one of the characters n, c or h which means normal, crash or hold. The -c<charset> will force a certain characterset. Normally this will be automatic set. The -b switch disables splitting of long messages. The <recip> are one or more recipients for the message. The message itself is read from stdin.
