The prog delivery agent is used to
pipe mail through programs.
20.4.7.1 The local delivery agent
The local delivery agent??™s job is to deliver mail to its final destination in the user??™s
mailbox. Its name doesn??™t tell you what program is actually run to perform that
delivery, but it is usually either /bin/mail or /usr/libexec/mail.local, although it could
also be procmail or spop.
The program you select to perform the role of final delivery will determine the
defaults that this delivery agent starts with. If you need to change any of those
defaults, you can first determine what they are by looking in your configuration file
for the Mlocal lines. They might look like this, for example:
Mlocal, P=/usr/lib/mail.local, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qPSXfmnz9,
S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
T=DNS/RFC822/SMTP, A=mail.local -l
You can use any of the mc configuration macros shown in Table 20-7 to modify or
replace these defaults.
Note that mc configuration macro definitions must always precede the MAILER declaration
to which they relate.
