Linux                                            22 January 2002                                    axgetmail(1)

       After the successful connect to the BBS axgetmail attempts to execute the script /var/ax25/auth_agent and
       redirects its stdin and stdout to the BBS. The BBS callsign is passed as the first command line argument.
       The  script  should  take  actions  needed for user's authorization to the BBS. When the script execution
       fails, axgetmail continues downloading the messages without authorization.

Axgetmail  scans the message list of specified BBS and downloads all new messages that have a destination
       which belongs to the list of interesting bulletins.  There can be a list for each BBS.

       Bulletins are stored into
       /var/ax25/mail/<bbs_callsign>/<message_number>
       For downloading personal mail each callsign we  want  download  mail  for  must  have  an  entry  in  the
       /etc/ax25/logins  file  to  enable  axgetmail to determine the user whose home directory will be used for
       storing personal messages. The HOMEDIR argument in axgetmail.conf specifies the path relative  to  user's
       home directory where the personal mail will be stored. Personal messages are stored into the directory
       $HOME/HOMEDIR/<bbs_callsign>
       If the subdirectory for any BBS doesn't exist, no personal mail is downloaded for such user from the BBS.

       Axgetmail can be run automatically by ulistd utility. See ulistd(8).
