qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries


SYNOPSIS

       qmail-lspawn


DESCRIPTION

       qmail-lspawn  reads  a  series  of local delivery commands
       from descriptor 0,  invokes  qmail-alias  to  perform  the
       deliveries, and prints the results to descriptor 1.

       qmail-lspawn  invokes  qmail-alias  asynchronously, so the
       results may not be in the same order as the commands.

       For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn first checks  the
       qmail-users  mechanism,  and  then  invokes qmail-getpw if
       necessary, to find out  which  local  user  controls  that
       address.   qmail-lspawn  runs qmail-alias under the user's
       uid and gid.  It does not set up any supplementary groups.

       qmail-lspawn  treats  an  empty  mailbox  name  as a trash
       address.
