SYNOPSIS

       new-inject [ -nNaAhHFIMRS ] [ -fsender ] [ recip ...  ]


DESCRIPTION

       With the (default) -N option, new-inject reads a mail message from its
       standard input, rewrites the message header, and feeds the rewritten
       message to qmail-queue.

       With the -n option, new-inject prints the message rather than feeding
       it to qmail-queue.

       See http://pobox.com/~djb/proto/immhf.html for a complete description
       of the Internet mail message header format.

       The FIMRS options can be set as letters inside the $QMAILINJECT
       environment variable.


ADDRESS REWRITING

       new-inject transforms each address according to the control files
       defaultdomain, defaulthost, me, plusdomain, and rewrite.  See
       rewriting(5) for further details.  If you set the environment variable
       $QMAILREWRITEFILE, and that file exists, it overrides rewrite.


ENVELOPE ADDRESSES

       new-inject builds an envelope for the message: a list of recipient
       addresses that will receive the message, and a sender address that will
       receive bounces.

       If new-inject is printing the message rather than feeding it to
       qmail-queue, it prints an Envelope-Sender field and an
       Envelope-Recipients field at the top of the new message header.

       With the -a option, new-inject builds the envelope recipient list from
       the argument recipients, i.e., all recip addresses listed on the
       command line.  With the -h option, new-inject builds the envelope
       recipient list from the header recipients, i.e., all addresses listed
       in the incoming message under Envelope-Recipients, or under To, Cc,
       Bcc, and Apparently-To if Envelope-Recipients is not supplied.  With
       the -H option, new-inject uses both argument recipients and header
       recipients.  With the (default) -A option, new-inject uses argument
       recipients, or header recipients if there are no argument recipients.

       The envelope sender is set by the -f option if it is supplied;
       otherwise, the incoming Envelope-Sender field, if there is one;
       otherwise, the incoming Return-Path field, if there is one, and if the
       -S option is not set; otherwise, the default envelope sender, as
       described below.  Incoming Envelope-Sender and Return-Path fields are
       removed in any case.

       The default envelope sender contains a user name, a per-message VERP, a
       per-recipient VERP, and a host name.  The user name is set by an
       environment variable: $QMAILSUSER, $QMAILUSER, $MAILUSER, $USER, or
       etc.  If there are several To fields, new-inject merges them into a
       single To field.

       new-inject removes all incoming Bcc and Apparently-To fields.


SENDERS

       new-inject rewrites addresses in From and Sender fields.

       If the incoming message does not contain a From field, new-inject
       creates a new From field.

       If the -F option is set, new-inject discards any incoming From field,
       and creates a new From field.

       The new From field contains a personal name, a user name, and a host
       name.  The personal name is set by $QMAILNAME, $MAILNAME, or $NAME,
       whichever comes first; if none of these variables are set, the personal
       name is omitted.  The user name is set by $QMAILUSER, $MAILUSER, $USER,
       or $LOGNAME.  The host name is set by $QMAILHOST, $MAILHOST, or the
       empty string, subject to rewriting.


RESPONSE TARGETS

       new-inject rewrites addresses in Reply-To, Mail-Reply-To, and
       Mail-Followup-To fields.

       If the environment variable $QMAILMFTFILE is set, new-inject reads a
       list of mailing list addresses, one per line, from that file.  If To+Cc
       includes one of those addresses (without regard to case), and if the
       incoming message does not contain a Mail-Followup-To field, new-inject
       adds a Mail-Followup-To field with all the To+Cc addresses.


DATE FIELDS

       If the incoming message has comprehensible Date fields, new-inject
       takes the last one and rewrites it in a standard format.  It transforms
       2-digit (and 3-digit) years into 4-digit years.  It also transforms
       obsolete time zone names into numeric time zones.

       Otherwise new-inject makes a new Date field with the current time in
       UTC, counting leap seconds.


THREADING

       If the incoming message does not contain a Message-ID field, new-inject
       creates a new Message-ID field.

       If the -I option is set, new-inject discards any incoming Message-ID
       field, and creates a new Message-ID field.

       new-inject uses the control file idhost (overridden by he environment
       variable $QMAILIDHOST; defaulting to me) in its new Message-ID field.
       idhost need not be the current host's name.  It is your responsibility
       to obtain authorization from the owner of the idhost domain.

                                                                 new-inject(1)
