DESCRIPTION
The file /usr/local/lib/emil.cf is used by emil(1) to decide which con‐
versions should be applied to a specific Internet message. Conversion
is controlled by the combination of Sender, Recipient and Recipi‐
ent_host and the corresponding group line.
When emil is executed it first visits /usr/local/lib/emil.cf with the
arguments Sender, Recipient and Recipient_host to extract the name of
target group (as specified by the member fields). A subsequent check
with the group fields yields the target group structure, containing
charset, format, bin, textenc and henc. Then the Sender and Recipient
is swapped to get the corresponding information about the sender.
COMMANDS
Commands may appear in any order. They are all ended with a semi colon
";".
group Defines a group by a group name and a comma separated
list of options.
Group_name - Name of the group.
charset - Specifies the charset used by the group,
according to RFC1345.
format - Specifies the format used by the group. Pick
one of: MIME, MAILTOOL, RFC822 or TRANSPARENT. Default
is RFC822.
appletype - Specifies the format to be used for applefile
attachments. Pick one of Binhex, appleDouble or
appleSingle.
bin - Specifies the encoding to be used for binary
attachments. Pick one of BAse64, BInhex or Uuencode.
textenc - Specifies the encoding to be used for text.
Pick one of BAse64, BInhex, Uuencode, Quoted-printable,
8bit, Se or 7bit. 7bit is default. When 7bit is chosen
the text is first converted to ISO-8859-1 and then the
8bit characters are replaced by the english characters
with closest resemblance. When Se is chosen the text is
first converted to ISO-8859-1 and then the 8bit charac‐
ters are replaced by the appropriate characters as speci‐
fied by some national variants of ISO-646. This special
conversion is suited to work in Sweden but works probably
also for other european languages.
henc - Specifies the encoding to be used for header
lines. Pick one of Base64, Quoted-printable, 8bit or Se,
7bit. 7bit is default. If BAse64 or Quoted-Printable is
selected headers are converted according to RFC1522
(MIME-II). 7bit and Se behaves like in the textenc
field.
match This field is used to build a list of types and the cor‐
responding expression in the given context.
Context - One of MAILTOOL, MIME, BINHEX or UUENCODE.
OUT - The generic type of the field
Match_String - A quoted string that corresponds to the
Context of the field. For MAILTOOL Match_String defines
the Sun Mailtool X-Sun-Data_type to be used. For MIME
Match_String defines the content-type to be used. For
UUENCODE Match_String defines the file name extension to
be used. For BINHEX Match_String defines the merged two
4byte strings Type and Auth info.
member Defines members of a group given as a group name and a
comma separated list of the triples Recipient, Sender and
Recipient_host. Either one in the triples can be totally
or partly replaced by a wildcard '*'.
Group_name - Name of the group.
Sender - Sender's mail address.
Recipient - Recipient's mail address.
Recipient_host - Name of the recipient host or relay.
mailer Defines a mailer (or tags a program) as a mailer name and a
comma separated list of arguments that makes up the execv vector
of the program to execute.
Mailer_name - Name of the mailer.
Path - Path of the program to execute.
Program - Name of the program to execute
Arguments - A list of each command line argument to use when
invoking the program. To be suitable for mail programs you can
specify variables representing sender, recipient and mail relay.
These are specified by $s, $r and $x respectively.
