RCVSTORE(1) General Commands Manual RCVSTORE(1) NAME rcvstore - asynchronously incorporate mail into an nmh folder SYNOPSIS /usr/local/libexec/nmh/rcvstore [-help] [-version] [+folder] [-create | -nocreate] [-unseen | -nounseen] [-zero | -nozero] [-sequence name ...] [-public | -nopublic] DESCRIPTION rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input into an nmh folder. This command is typically used in conjunction with mail filtering programs such as slocal and procmail, to filter your mail into different folders. You may specify which folder to use with +folder. If no folder is speci- fied, rcvstore will use the folder given by a non-empty "Inbox:" entry in the user's profile, else it will use the folder named "inbox". If the switch -create is given (it is the default) and if the specified (or default) folder does not exist, then it will be created. You may disable this with the -nocreate option. In this case rcvstore will exit if the specified folder does not exist. When the new message is incorporated into the folder, it is assigned the next highest number for that folder. rcvstore will incorporate anything except zero length messages into the user's nmh folder. It will not change the message in any way. If the user's profile contains a "Msg-Protect: nnn" entry, it will be used as the mode to use, in octal, on the newly created message, otherwise the nmh default mode of 0600, see chmod(1), will be used (on filesystems that support it). For all subsequent operations on this message, this initially assigned mode will be preserved. If the switch -unseen is given (it is on by default), and if the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence" is present and non-empty, then rcvstore will add the newly incorporated message to each sequence named by this profile en- try. You may use the switch -nounseen to disable this. These sequences will not be zeroed by rcvstore prior to adding the new message. Furthermore, the incoming messages may be added to additional sequences as they arrive by the use of the -sequence switch. As with the commands pick and mark, you may also use the switches -zero and -nozero to specify whether to zero old sequences or not. Similarly, use of the -public and -nopublic switches may be used to force these sequences to be public or private sequences. Locking and sequences If you use the "Unseen-Sequence" profile entry, or if you use the -sequence argument, rcvstore might try to update its sequence state while another nmh process is also trying to do so. This can cause one of those updates to be lost. To avoid this (just between asynchronous invocations of rcvstore), always use it with an external locking mechanism. A procmailrc(5) local lockfile would work, or if not using procmail, then consider using dotlock- file(1) or flock(1).
