NAME
batchparms − bsmtpd configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/mail/batchparms
DESCRIPTION
batchparms tells sbsmtp(8) and bsmtp(8) which UUCP site uses which compression method, how to name the batch and the size of the batches.
The file consists of lines with four colums:
|
site |
the uucp name of the receiver site. If the named site is not found, bsmtp(8) searches for an entry with the site name ’default’ and uses it instead. |
batch-size
When the batch is bigger than this value, it will automatically be sent out using uux(8).
compression method
The method to compress the batches. Allowed values are - (dash) for no compression, gzip, compress, bzip2, and freeze.
receiver process
A freely selected name of the batch. You should join a name, which is understood by the receiving system. Common values are rsmtp (no compression), rgsmtp (gzip) and rcsmtp or cbsmtp, (compress). Or simply use rbsmtp the default name of bsmtpd, which understands different compression types.
