NT PULLMAIL V1.05
=================

What is it?
===========

PULLMAIL is a simple command line utility to pull email from
a pop account and send it to an SMTP server. It looks for
a To: or Apparently-To: field in the header of each email
and uses this in the RCPT-TO command to the SMTP server.
Apparently-To: takes precedence over To:. You can also specify
a custom field which takes overall precedence if given.

usage:
   pullmail <popsrvr> <user> <pass> <options>

where:
   <popsrvr> = pop server	

		The pop server to connect to

   <user>    = pop account name

		The pop account at Frontier

   <pass>    = pop account password

		The pop account password

   <options> = any of:

       /s:smtp server address
           default = local machine

		Server to send pulled email to using smtp,
		this defaults to the NT machine running
		pullmail

       /ps:pop server socket
           default = pop3

		Socket to connect to pop server with, this
		defaults to the standard pop3 socket. The
		option should rarely be needed.

       /ss:smtp server socket
           default = smtp

		Socket to connect to smtp server with, this
		defaults to the standard smtp socket. The
		option should rarely be needed.

       /le   = write error events to event log

		Causes errors to be written to the system 
		event log

       /lw   = write warning events to event log

		Causes warnings to be written to the system 
		event log

       /li   = write info events to event log

		Causes information messages to be written to 
		the system event log

       /t:timeout in seconds
	   default = 10

		Timeout for any one socket operation. If a socket
		operation takes longer than this value the
		program will self terminate. This one helps save
		your phone bill when things go wrong.

       /to:receipient

                Causes all mail to be delivered to the given
                receipient

       /r:Custom receipeint field

                Allows custom header fields to be parsed for the
                reciepient. For example:-

                   pullmail /r:X-Deliver-To

                would cause the header to be checked for this 
                field and if found the value used to obtain
                the receipient.
