     4 .SH SYNOPSIS

     5 .B qmail-lspawn

     6 .I defaultdelivery

     7 .SH DESCRIPTION

     8 .B qmail-lspawn

     9 reads a series of local delivery commands from descriptor 0,

    10 invokes

    11 .B qmail-local

    12 to perform the deliveries,

    13 and prints the results to descriptor 1.

    14 It passes

    15 .I defaultdelivery

    16 to

    17 .B qmail-local

    18 as the default delivery instruction.

    19 

    20 .B qmail-lspawn

    21 invokes

    22 .B qmail-local

    23 asynchronously,

    24 so the results may not be in the same order as the commands.

    25 

    26 For each recipient address,

    27 .B qmail-lspawn

    28 finds out which local user controls that address.

    29 It first checks the

    30 .B qmail-users

    31 mechanism; if the address is not listed there, it invokes

    32 .BR qmail-getpw .

    33 .B qmail-lspawn

    34 then runs

    35 .B qmail-local

    36 under the user's uid and gid.

    37 It does not set up any supplementary groups.

    38 

    39 .B qmail-lspawn

    40 treats an empty mailbox name as a trash address.
