NAME
       qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries

SYNOPSIS
       qmail-lspawn defaultdelivery

DESCRIPTION
       qmail-lspawn  reads  a  series  of local delivery commands
       from descriptor 0,  invokes  qmail-local  to  perform  the
       deliveries,  and  prints  the results to descriptor 1.  It
       passes  defaultdelivery  to  qmail-local  as  the  default
       delivery instruction.

       qmail-lspawn  invokes  qmail-local  asynchronously, so the
       results may not be in the same order as the commands.

       For each recipient address, qmail-lspawn finds  out  which
       local  user  controls  that  address.  It first checks the
       qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not listed there,
       it  invokes  qmail-getpw.   qmail-lspawn  then runs qmail-
       local under the user's uid and gid.  It does  not  set  up
       any supplementary groups.

       qmail-lspawn  treats  an  empty  mailbox  name  as a trash
       address.
