The arguments to +.I marshal +are the addresses of the recipients. +.PP +When running in a +.IR rio (1) +window, +.I marshal +automatically puts the window into hold mode (see +.IR rio (1)); +this means that the message can be edited freely, +because nothing will be sent to +.I marshal +until the ESC key is hit to exit hold mode. +.PP +The options are: +.TF "-a file" +.TP +.BI -a file +directs +.I marshal +to append +.I file +as a mime attachment. +Unless explicitly specified by the +.B -t +option, the type of the attachment is determined +by running the +.IR file (1) +command. +.TP +.BI -A file +is like +.B -a +but the message disposition is marked as +.I inline +directing any mail reader to display the attachment +(if it can) when the mail message is read. +.TP +.BI -t type +sets the content type for the attachments from +all subsequent +.B -a +and +.B -A +options. +.TP +.BI -s subject +adds a +.B Subject: +header line to the message if one does not +already exist. +.TP +.B -#xnr +are all passed as command line options to the +.I send +that +.I marshal +invokes. +.PD +.PP +.I Send +reads a message from standard input and disposes of it in one +of four ways: +.IP \(bu 3 +If +.I mailaddr +refers to a local mailbox, it appends it to the +recipient's mailbox. +.IP \(bu +If +.I mailaddr +is remote, it queues the mail for remote delivery. +.IP \(bu +If the +.B -r +option is given and the mail is undeliverable, it +returns the mail to the sender. +.IP \(bu +if the +.B -r +option is not given and the mail is undeliverable, it +appends the mail to +.BI /mail/box/ username /dead.letter +and prints a message to standard error. +.PP +The file +.B /mail/lib/rewrite +determines exactly how to deliver or queue the mail. +The decision is based purely on the recipient address. +.PP +The options are: +.TF -b +.TP +.B -b +suppresses the addition of the +.B To: +line. +.TP +.B -i +let the message input be terminated by a line +containing only a period, for +compatibility with +old mailers. +.TP +.B -x +do not send mail, but instead report +the full mail address of the recipient. +.TP +.B -# +do not send mail, but instead report +what command would be used to send the mail. +.TP +.B -r +input is via a pipe from another program. +Expect a From +line at the start of the message to provide the +name of the sender and timestamp.

If the expression +matches, then the message is delivered to the file whose name +follows the expression. The file must be world writable and should +be append only. +A message that matches none of the expressions is delivered into +the user's standard mail box. +The flags are: +.TP +.B h +the regular expression is matched against the message header +rather than the address. +.TP +.B b +the regular expression is matched against both the header and the body +of the message. +.PP +For example, to delete any messages of precedence bulk, place in +your +.B pipeto +file: +.EX +/bin/upas/filter -h $1 $2 'Precedence: bulk' /dev/null +.EE +.PP +Three other commands exist which, combined by an +.IR rc (1) +script, allow you to build your own filter. +.PP +.I List +takes two verbs; +.B check +and +.BR add . +.B Check +directs +.I list +to check each address contained in the +.IR addressfile s +against a list of patterns in +.IR patternfile . +Patterns come in four forms: +.TP +.B ~\fIregular-expression\fP +If any address matches the regular expression, +.I list +returns successfully. +.TP +.BR =\fIstring\fP . +If any address exactly matches +.IR string , +.I list +returns successfully. +.TP +.B !~\fIregular-expression\fP +If any address matches the regular expression +and no other address matches a non `!' rule, +.I list +returns error status "!match". +.TP +.B !=\fIstring\fP +If any address exactly matches +.I string +and no other address matches a non `!' rule, +.I list +returns error status "!match". +.PP +If no addresses match a pattern, +.I list +returns "no match". +.PP +The pattern file may also contain lines of the form +.EX +#include filename +.EE +This allows pattern files to include other pattern +files. +All pattern matches are case insensitive. +.I List +searches the pattern file (and its includes) in order. +The first matching pattern determines the action. +.PP +.I List +.B add +directs +.I list +to add a pattern to +.I patternfile +for each address in the +.IR addrssfile 's +that doesh't already match a pattern. +.PP +.IR Token , +with only one argument, prints to standard output a unique token +created from the current date and +.IR key . +With two arguments, it checks +.I token +against tokens created over the last 10 days with +.IR key . +If a match is found, it returns successfully. +.PP +.I Deliver +delivers into mail box +.I mbox +the message read from standard input. +It obeys standard mail file locking and logging +conventions. +.PP +A sample +.B pipeto +using the filter kit can be found in +.BR /sys/src/cmd/upas/filterkit/pipeto.sample . +.PP +A sample +.BR myupassend , +.BR /sys/src/cmd/upas/filterkit/myupassend.sample , +is provided which adds all addresses of your outgoing +mail to your pattern file. +You should copy it into a directory that normally gets +bound by your profile onto +.BR /bin . +.SS "Mime File system +.PP +.I Fs +is a user level file system that reads mailboxes and presents them as a file +system. +A user normally starts +.I fs +in his/her profile after starting +.IR plumber (4) +and before starting +a window system, such as +.IR rio (1) +or +.IR acme (1). +The file system is used by +.I nedmail +and +.IR acme (1)'s +mail reader to parse messages. +.I Fs +also generates plumbing messages used by +.IR biff +and +.IR faces (1) +to provide mail announcements. +.PP +The mailbox itself becomes a directory under +.BR /mail/fs . +Each message in the mailbox becomes a numbered directory in the +mailbox directory, and each attachment becomes a numbered directory +in the message directory.
