| 17 | The _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk program checks all known mail drops for mail | |
| 18 | waiting for you. For those drops which have mail for you, | |
| 19 | _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk will indicate if it believes that you have seen the | |
| 20 | mail in question before. | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | The `-notify type' switch indicates under what circum- | |
| 23 | stances _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk should produce a message. The default is | |
| 24 | `-notify all' which says that _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk should always report | |
| 25 | the status of the users maildrop. Other values for `type' | |
| 26 | include `mail' which says that _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk should report the | |
| 27 | status of waiting mail; and, `nomail' which says that | |
| 28 | _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk should report the status of empty maildrops. The | |
| 29 | `-nonotify type' switch has the inverted sense, so | |
| 30 | `-nonotify all' directs _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk to never report the status | |
| 31 | of maildrops. This is useful if the user wishes to check | |
| 32 | _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk's exit status. A non-zero exit status indicates | |
| 33 | that mail was n\bno\bot\bt waiting for at least one of the indi- | |
| 34 | cated users. | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | If _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk produces output, then the `-date' switch directs | |
| 37 | _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk to print out the last date mail was read, if this | |
| 38 | can be determined. | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | If the local host is configured as a POP client, or if the | |
| 41 | `-host host' switch is given, _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk will query the POP | |
| 42 | service host as to the status of mail waiting. If the | |
| 43 | `-user user' switch is not given, then the current user- | |
| 44 | name is used. Normally, _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk will prompt for a password | |
| 45 | to use. However, if the `-apop' switch is given, _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk | |
| 46 | will generate authentication credentials to provide for | |
| 47 | origin authentication and replay protection, but which do | |
| 48 | not involve sending a password in the clear over the net- | |
| 49 | work. Otherwise, if the `-rpop' switch is given, then | |
| 50 | _\bm_\bs_\bg_\bc_\bh_\bk will try to use a "trusted" connection (ala the BSD | |
| 51 | r-commands). | |
