Synopsis

| aipsmail [folder]

Description

aipsmail archives AIPS++ electronic mail. It is invoked directly by sendmail on aips2.nrao.edu via entries in the /etc/aliases file as described in §13.2.

aipsmail expects to receive the text of a mail message on stdin. It first invokes rcvstore to store this message in the specified MH mail folder - general by default. It then invokes scanhtml (p) to update the HTML index for the folder.

Options

None.

Notes

Since sendmail normally invokes commands using the identity of the person who sent the mail, aipsmail needs to run as setuid to aips2adm.

Diagnostics

Status return values
0: success
