      1 .TH condredirect 1
      2 .SH NAME
      3 condredirect \- perhaps redirect mail to another address
      4 .SH SYNOPSIS
      5 in
      6 .BR .qmail :
      7 .B |condredirect
      8 .I newaddress
      9 .I program
     10 [
     11 .I arg ...
     12 ]
     13 .SH DESCRIPTION
     14 .B condredirect
     15 feeds each new mail message to
     16 .I program
     17 with the given arguments.
     18 If
     19 .I program
     20 exits 0,
     21 .B condredirect
     22 forwards the mail message to
     23 .IR newaddress ,
     24 and then exits 99,
     25 so further commands in
     26 .B .qmail
     27 are ignored.
     28 
     29 If
     30 .I program
     31 exits 111,
     32 .B condredirect
     33 exits 111,
     34 so delivery will be retried later.
     35 
     36 If
     37 .I program
     38 exits anything else
     39 (or does not exist),
     40 .B condredirect
     41 exits 0,
     42 so the rest of
     43 .B .qmail
     44 will be processed as usual.
     45 
     46 Note that
     47 it is not safe for
     48 .I program
     49 to fork a child that
     50 reads the message in the background.
     51 
     52 .B WARNING:
     53 If you create a
     54 .B .qmail
     55 file to enable
     56 .BR condredirect ,
     57 make sure to also add a line specifying delivery to your normal mailbox.
