NAME

       getmail_mbox  - read a message from stdin and deliver to a named mboxrd-format mbox file with fcntl-style
       locking.

SYNOPSIS

       getmail_mbox [OPTION] PATH

DESCRIPTION

       Deliver a mail message from standard input, to the mboxrd-format mbox file named PATH.  PATH  must  start
       with a dot or a slash and must not end with a slash.  fcntl-type locking is used; if your system requires
       another  type  of  locking  (such  as flock or dotlock ), use an MDA configured for that style of locking
       instead.

       getmail_mbox uses the SENDER environment variable to  construct  a  Return-Path:  header  field  and  the
       contents  of  the  RECIPIENT environment variable to construct a Delivered-To: header field at the top of
       the message.  SENDER is also used in creating the mbox From_ line.

       --verbose, -v
              print a status message on success
