MVMF -- MV Mail Functions

MVMF Mail Functions

MVMF is a package containing a growing number of utilities used in handling email. Some of these utilities make use of mvmf's scripting language, MFL, which combines an implementation of the Sieve filtering language and a C-like language in a powerful way. Using this language (or an interface that emits this language), users can direct each relevant utility's processing of email.

Specific Programs General Info

mvmda -- a Mail Delivery Agent (MDA) aka Local Delivery Agent (LDA). Highly scriptable using mfl, it may be used with many popular mail systems (e.g. qmail, sendmail, postfix, exim).
mvmtr -- a Mail Transport Agent (MTA) receiver. Designed to be inserted in place of qmail's qmail-smtpd program, but with a future that may make it independent of qmail. Also supports mfl scripting, and is expected to evolve to heavily interact with user-level scripts at SMTP time.
Misc tools including mvmda logfile summarizer and DNSBL command line inquiry utility.
man pages -- various mvmf component man pages collected in one place.

Status of the mvmf package -- any special notes that apply to the state of the package as a whole.
