EMIL.CF(1)		    General Commands Manual		    EMIL.CF(1)

NAME
       emil.cf - configuration file for	emil(1)

SYNOPSIS
       group  Group_Name: [ charset= CHARSET , ] [ format= FORMAT , ] [	apple-
       type= ENCODING ,	] [ bin= ENCODING , ] [	textenc= ENCODING , ]  [ henc=
       ENCODING	] ;

       match Context  Match_String  OUT	;

       member Group_Name :  Recipient  Sender  Recipient_host  , ... ;

       mailer Mailer_Name :  Path,  Program,  Arguments,  ... ;

DESCRIPTION
       The file	/usr/local/lib/emil.cf is used by emil(1) to decide which con-
       versions	 should	 be applied to a specific Internet message. Conversion
       is controlled by	the  combination  of  Sender,  Recipient  and  Recipi-
       ent_host	and the	corresponding group line.

       When  emil  is executed it first	visits /usr/local/lib/emil.cf with the
       arguments Sender, Recipient and Recipient_host to extract the  name  of
       target  group  (as  specified by	the member fields). A subsequent check
       with the	group fields yields the	 target	 group	structure,  containing
       charset,	 format, bin, textenc and henc.	 Then the Sender and Recipient
       is swapped to get the corresponding information about the sender.

COMMANDS
       Commands	may appear in any order. They are all ended with a semi	 colon
       ";".

	      group  Defines  a	 group	by  a group name and a comma separated
		     list of options.

		     Group_name	- Name of the group.

		     charset - Specifies the charset used by  the  group,  ac-
		     cording to	RFC1345.

		     format  -	Specifies  the format used by the group.  Pick
		     one of: MIME, MAILTOOL, RFC822 or	TRANSPARENT.   Default
		     is	RFC822.

		     appletype - Specifies the format to be used for applefile
		     attachments.   Pick  one  of  Binhex,  appleDouble	or ap-
		     pleSingle.

		     bin - Specifies the encoding to be	used  for  binary  at-
		     tachments.	 Pick one of BAse64, BInhex or Uuencode.

		     textenc  -	 Specifies  the	 encoding to be	used for text.
		     Pick one of BAse64, BInhex,  Uuencode,  Quoted-printable,
		     8bit,  Se	or  7bit. 7bit is default. When	7bit is	chosen
		     the text is first converted to ISO-8859-1	and  then  the
		     8bit  characters  are  replaced by	the english characters
		     with closest resemblance.	When Se	is chosen the text  is
		     first  converted  to ISO-8859-1 and then the 8bit charac-
		     ters are replaced by the appropriate characters as	speci-
		     fied by some national variants of ISO-646.	 This  special
		     conversion	is suited to work in Sweden but	works probably
		     also for other european languages.

		     henc  -  Specifies	 the  encoding	to  be used for	header
		     lines.  Pick one of Base64, Quoted-printable, 8bit	or Se,
		     7bit.  7bit is default. If	BAse64 or Quoted-Printable  is
		     selected  headers	are  converted	according  to  RFC1522
		     (MIME-II).	 7bit and  Se  behaves	like  in  the  textenc
		     field.

	      match  This  field is used to build a list of types and the cor-
		     responding	expression in the given	context.

		     Context - One of MAILTOOL,	MIME, BINHEX or	UUENCODE.

		     OUT - The generic type of the field

		     Match_String - A quoted string that  corresponds  to  the
		     Context  of  the field. For MAILTOOL Match_String defines
		     the Sun Mailtool X-Sun-Data_type to  be  used.  For  MIME
		     Match_String  defines  the	 content-type  to be used. For
		     UUENCODE Match_String defines the file name extension  to
		     be	 used.	For BINHEX Match_String	defines	the merged two
		     4byte strings Type	and Auth info.

	      member Defines members of	a group	given as a group  name	and  a
		     comma separated list of the triples Recipient, Sender and
		     Recipient_host.  Either one in the	triples	can be totally
		     or	partly replaced	by a wildcard '*'.

		     Group_name	- Name of the group.

		     Sender - Sender's mail address.

		     Recipient - Recipient's mail address.

		     Recipient_host - Name of the recipient host or relay.

       mailer Defines  a  mailer  (or  tags  a program)	as a mailer name and a
	      comma separated list of arguments	that makes up the execv	vector
	      of the program to	execute.

	      Mailer_name - Name of the	mailer.

	      Path - Path of the program to execute.

	      Program -	Name of	the program to execute

	      Arguments	- A list of each command line argument to use when in-
	      voking the program.  To be suitable for mail  programs  you  can
	      specify variables	representing sender, recipient and mail	relay.
	      These are	specified by $s, $r and	$x respectively.
