     rmail - handle remote mail received via uucp

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     rmail user [...]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The rmail utility  interprets  incoming  mail  received  via
uucp, collapsing
     ``From'' lines in the form generated by mail.local(8) into a
single line
     of the form ``return-path!sender'',  and  passing  the  processed mail on to
     sendmail(8).

     rmail  is  explicitly  designed  for use with uucp and sendmail(8).

     Note: uucp is not part of the base OpenBSD system.  It comes
as part of
     the  uucp  suite, and can be installed via ports(7) or packages(7).
