.Sh NAME
kuvert-mta-wrapper \- wrapper around your MTA for mail submission to
.Xr kuvert 1
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm kuvert-mta-wrapper
.Op Fl options
.Op Ar args
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm kuvert_mta_wrapper
submits an email either directly to your MTA or
enqueues it for
.Xr kuvert 1
for further processing.
.Nm kuvert_mta_wrapper
should be called by your MUA
instead of your usual MTA in order to enable kuvert to intercept and
process the outgoing mails. Please see your MUA's documentation about
how to override the MTA to be used.
.Pp
The decision whether queueing or calling the MTA directly is based on
the following factors:
.Bl -enum
.It
If there are options given other than
.Fl "bm",
.Fl "f",
.Fl "i",
.Fl "t",
.Fl "v",
.Fl "oi",
.Fl "od",
.Fl "oe",
the standard MTA
.Pa /usr/lib/sendmail
is executed with the options and arguments given. The result code in this case
is the one the MTA returns.
.It
If there is a configuration file
.Pa ~/.kuvert
(See
.Xr kuvert "1" for possible configuration directives) the mail is queued for
.Xr kuvert "1". The options and arguments are ignored.
If there are problems, an error message is sent to syslog and -1 is returned.
.El
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag
.It Pa ~/.kuvert
configuration file for
.Xr kuvert "1" and
.Xr kuvert_mta_wrapper "1".
.It Pa ~/.kuvert_queue
the default queue directory for
.Xr kuvert "1" if the configuration file does not specify an alternative.

.Sh BUGS
The list of allowed options and the MTA for fallback are set at compile time.
.Nm kuvert_mta_wrapper
does log only to syslog at the moment.
