I am at present working with the mail expert in my office to get the mail
messages piped directly to mhonarc but we are running into a problem.
the following message came back from the mailer daemon:
----- The following addresses had delivery problems -----
"|/net/suncamp/webserver/public_html/notice/mhonarc -- - -outdir
/net/suncamp/webserver/public_html/notice/notes -rcfile
/net/suncamp/webserver/public_html/notice/rcnote -add" (unrecoverable error)
(expanded from: <noticeboard(_at_)oasis>)
The "--" on the command-line shuts off any subsequent options parsing.
Hence, everything after it is treated as non-option arguments, which
would be names of mail folders. I.e. "-outdir" and everything that
follows is treated as input mail folders.
For piping via sendmail, the use of "-- -" is not needed. Something
like the following will work:
"|/net/suncamp/webserver/public_html/notice/mhonarc -add
-outdir /net/suncamp/webserver/public_html/notice/notes
-rcfile /net/suncamp/webserver/public_html/notice/rcnote"
(newlines added for readability, it should be a single line)
BTW, all command-line options have to be specified before any non-option
arguments.
