SYNOPSIS

       qmail-recipients

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-recipients	     reads	the	 addresses     provided	    in
       /var/qmail/users/recipients, converts them into lowercase,  and	writes
       them into /var/qmail/users/recipients.cdb in a binary format suited for
       quick access by qmail-smtpd.

       If there	is a problem with users/recipients, qmail-recipients complains
       and leaves users/recipients.cdb alone.

       qmail-recipients	 ensures  that	users/recipients.cdb is	updated	atomi-
       cally, so qmail-smtpd never has to wait for qmail-recipients to finish.
       However,	 qmail-recipients  makes  no  attempt  to  protect against two
       simultaneous updates of users/recipients.cdb.

       The binary users/recipients.cdb is compatible with setforward generated
       'fastforward' cdbs and it's format is portable across machines.
