  NAME

    rmail - Routes remote mail received from UUCP

  SYNOPSIS

    rmail user...

  DESCRIPTION

    The rmail image is a UUCP mail transport for the sendmail product.  The
    rmail image interprets incoming mail received from UUCP by collapsing the
    From lines into a single line of the form return_path!sender, and passing
    the processed mail to sendmail.

    The rmail image is explicitly designed for use with UUCP and sendmail.

  CAUTIONS

    The rmail image should not reside in the /bin filesystem.
