NAME

       extsmaild — robust sending of e-mail to external commands

SYNOPSIS

       extsmaild [-m mode] [-t] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       extsmaild  sends  messages  spooled  by  extsmail(1).   If called without -m specified, or if -m batch is
       specified, extsmaild operates in batch mode, running as a foreground process and terminating after trying
       to send all messages; it returns 0 if all messages were sent successfully, or 1 if  any  messages  remain
       unsent.

       If  called  with the -m daemon switch, extsmaild operates as a long running daemon; it monitors the spool
       directory and when it notices changes to the directory (or a fixed period has elapsed) it tries  to  send
       any  unsent messages. This means that even on unreliable networks, extsmaild can easily be left alone and
       relied upon to ultimately send all messages - without manual intervention.

       The -t flag can be specified to test the configuration files  for  extsmaild  without  running  the  mail
       sending process.

       The -v flag prints version info to stdout, then exits.
