maildirserial(1)	     General Commands Manual		maildirserial(1)

NAME
     maildirserial - send a maildir through a client

SYNOPSIS
     maildirserial [ -b ] [ -tlifetime ] dir prefix client [ arg ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     maildirserial  scans  a maildir, dir, for messages whose envelope recipient
     addresses begin with prefix.  It then invokes client (in the dir directory)
     and feeds client a list of 0-terminated filenames.

     client prints a series of results.  Each result is a 0-terminated filename,
     a status byte, and an LF-terminated  human-readable  status  message.   The
     status  byte  is K if client has accepted the message, Z if client has tem-
     porarily rejected the message, or D if client has permanently rejected  the
     message.

     maildirserial will remove messages accepted by client.

     maildirserial  may  run  client repeatedly if client exits without handling
     all the files.  maildirserial  will  give	up  if	it  is	not  making  any
     progress.

OPTIONS
     -b   Bounce  permanently rejected messages back to the envelope sender, and
	  then remove them.

     -tlifetime
	  Treat temporary rejection as permanent  rejection  for  messages  more
	  than lifetime seconds old.
