AIX Version 4.3 Commands Reference, Volume 4

rcvstore Command

Purpose

Incorporates new mail from standard input into a folder.

Syntax

rcvstore [ +Folder ] [ -create | -nocreate ] [ -sequence Name ] [ -public | -nopublic ] [ -zero | -nozero ]

Description

The rcvstore command adds incoming messages to a specified message directory (a folder). The rcvstore command is not started by the user. The rcvstore command is placed in the $HOME/.maildelivery file called by the /usr/lib/mh/slocal command.

The rcvstore command accepts messages from standard input and places them in a specified folder. Run the rcvstore command on all incoming messages by specifying the rcvstore command in the .maildelivery file.

You can specify rcvstore command flags in the $HOME/.maildelivery file or, as with most MH commands, in the $HOME/.mh_profile file.

Flags

-create Creates the specified folder in your mail directory if the folder does not exist. This flag is the default.
+Folder Places the incorporated messages in the specified folder. The default is +inbox.
-help Lists the command syntax, available switches (toggles), and version information.
Note: For MH, the name of this flag must be fully spelled out.
-nocreate Does not create the specified folder if the folder does not exist.
-nopublic Restricts the specified sequence of messages to your usage. The -nopublic flag does not restrict the messages in the sequence, only the sequence. This flag is the default if the folder is write-protected against other users.
-nozero Appends the messages incorporated by the rcvstore command to the specified sequence of messages. This flag is the default.
-public Makes the specified sequence of messages available to other users. The -public flag does not make protected messages available, only the sequence. This flag is the default if the folder is not write-protected against other users.
-sequence Name Adds the incorporated messages to the sequence of messages specified by the Name parameter.
-zero Clears the specified sequence of messages before placing the incorporated messages into the sequence. This flag is the default.
