-.SH NAME
-mail.local
-\- store mail in a mailbox
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B mail.local
-.RB [ \-7 "] [" \-b "] [" \-d "] [" \-D
-.IR mbdb ]
-.RB [ \-l "] [" \-f
-\fIfrom\fR|\fB\-r\fR
-.IR from ]
-.RB [ \-h
-\fIfilename\fR ]
-.I "user ..."
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.B Mail.local
-reads the standard input up to an end-of-file and appends it to each
-.I user's
-.B mail
-file. The
-.I user
-must be a valid user name.
-.PP
-The options are as follows:
-.TP 1i
-.B \-7
-Do not advertise 8BITMIME support in LMTP mode.
-.TP
-.B \-b
-Return a permanent error instead of a temporary error
-if a mailbox exceeds quota.
-.TP
-.B \-d
-Specify this is a delivery (for backward compatibility).
-This option has no effect.
-.TP
-.BI \-D " mbdb"
-Specify the name of the mailbox database
-which is used to look up local recipient names.
-This option defaults to "pw", which means use getpwnam().
-.TP
-.BI \-f " from"
-Specify the sender's name.
-.TP
-.B \-l
-Turn on LMTP mode.
-.TP
-.BI \-r " from"
-Specify the sender's name (for backward compatibility).
-Same as \-f.
-.TP
-.BI \-h " filename"
-Store incoming mail in \fIfilename\fR in the user's home directory instead
-of a system mail spool directory.
-.PP
-The next options are only available if
-.B mail.local
-has been compiled with -DHASHSPOOL.
-.TP
-.BI \-H " hashtypehashdepth"
-Select hashed mail directories.
-Valid hash types are
-.B u
-for user name and
-.B m
-for MD5 (requires compilation with -DHASHSPOOLMD5).
-Example:
-.BI \-H " u2"
-selects user name hashing with a hash depth of 2.
-Note: there must be no space between the hash type and the depth.
-.TP
-.BI \-p " path"
-Specify an alternate mail spool path.
-.TP
-.BI \-n
-Specify that the domain part of recipient addresses in LMTP mode
-should not be stripped.
-.PP
-Individual mail messages in the mailbox are delimited by an empty
-line followed by a line beginning with the string ``From ''.
-A line containing the string ``From '', the sender's name and a time stamp
-is prepended to each delivered mail message.
-A blank line is appended to each message.
-A greater-than character (``>'') is prepended to any line in the message
-which could be mistaken for a ``From '' delimiter line
-(that is,
-a line beginning with the five characters
-``From '' following a blank line).
-.PP
-The mail files are exclusively locked with
-flock(2)
-while mail is appended,
-and a
-.B user.lock
-file also is created while the mailbox is locked
-for compatibility with older MUAs.
-.PP
-If the ``biff'' service is returned by
-getservbyname(3),
-the biff server is notified of delivered mail.
-.PP
-The
-.B mail.local
-utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
-.SH ENVIRONMENT
-.IP TZ
-Used to set the appropriate time zone on the timestamp.
