NAME
       serialqmtp - blast files across QMTP

SYNOPSIS
       serialqmtp prefix

DESCRIPTION
       serialqmtp sends messages to a QMTP server.  It expects to
       be run under an UCSPI client; it sends data to the  server
       on  descriptor  7,  and  reads  data  from  the  server on
       descriptor 6.

       serialqmtp reads the messages  from  separate  files.   It
       reads  the  filenames from stdin.  Each filename is termi-
       nated by a 0 byte.

       serialqmtp retrieves a message's envelope  sender  address
       and  envelope  recipient  address from the Return-Path and
       Delivered-To lines at the top of the message  header.   It
       removes these lines before passing the message along.

       serialqmtp removes prefix from the beginning of each enve-
       lope recipient address.   It  ignores  any  message  whose
       recipient address does not begin with prefix.

       serialqmtp  reports its results on stdout.  Each result is
       a 0-terminated filename, followed by a status  byte,  fol-
       lowed  by  an  LF-terminated readable status message.  The
       status byte is K if the QMTP server has accepted responsi-
       bility for the message, Z if the QMTP server has temporar-
       ily rejected the message, and D if  the  QMTP  server  has
       permanently  rejected  the  message.   serialqmtp silently
       truncates excessively long  status  messages.   serialqmtp
       does not necessarily print a result for every file: it may
       skip files, it may have trouble reading a file from  disk,
       or it may have trouble talking to the QMTP server.

       serialqmtp uses a 73-second timeout on each network write.
