- The mail filters
- are a set of programs that filter mail from one format to another.
- In particular, \fIUUCP\fR\- and \fIMMDF\fR\-style mail files are handled.
-
- \fImuinc\fR
- filters mail from the user's \fIMMDF\fR maildrop into the user's \fIUUCP\fR
- maildrop;
- similarly,
- \fIuminc\fR
- filters mail from the user's \fIUUCP\fR maildrop into the user's \fIMMDF\fR
- maildrop.
- These two programs respect each system's maildrop locking protocols.
-
- \fImusift\fR
- filters each file on the command line
- (or the standard input if no arguments are given),
- and places the result on the standard output in \fIUUCP\fR format.
- The files (or standard input) are expected to be in \fIMMDF\fR format.
- \fIumsift\fR
- does the same thing filtering \fIUUCP\fR formatted files (or input),
- and places the \fIMMDF\fR formatted result on the standard output.
- No locking protocols are used by these programs.
-
- If the files aren't in the expected format,
- the mail filters will try to recover.
- In really bad cases,
- you may lose big.
