NAME

send-mail - ColdSync conduit to send Palm mail

SYNOPSIS

    conduit dump {
        type: mail/DATA;
        path: "<...>/send-mail";
      arguments:
        Sendmail:       /path/to/sendmail;
        My-Address:     [email protected];
        Outbox-name:    Outbox;
    }

DESCRIPTION

The "send-mail" conduit reads the Palm Mail database, finds the outgoing messages, and passes them on to "sendmail" for further processing.

Once each message has been successfully passed along to "sendmail", it is deleted.

OPTIONS

"Sendmail": Specifies the path to the "sendmail" executable. The default is /usr/sbin/sendmail.

"My-Address": Specifies the return address to put on outgoing messages. If omitted, defaults to your username (or, more precisely, the username of the first user with your uid).

"Wrap": Specifies the column at which to wrap long lines. Defaults to 74. A value of 0 specifies that text should not be wrapped.

"Outbox-name": Specifies the category where outgoing messages are stored. If omitted, the default Outbox is used. For German use Ausgang.

BUGS

Messages that were successfully sent are not immediately deleted on the Palm, but remain until the next sync. This is a limitation of ColdSync's conduit model.

The ``Confirm Read'' flag, as well as the various conduit-related options on the Palm, are ignored.

The ``Signature'' option on the Palm is ignored; this will most likely not be fixed. Nor is there an option to include a .signature file on the desktop machine; this will most likely be fixed.
