.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB-v\fP
Print version and exit.
.TP
\fB-c\fP \fIhyperdb class\fP
specify the default tracker class - one of issue (the default), msg, file, user etc. Overrides the 
tracker's mailgw default_class setting.
.TP

specify a tracker class - one of msg (the default), issue, file, user - to
manipulate with -S options
.TP
\fB-S\fP \fIproperty\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP[\fB;\fP\fIproperty\fP\fB=\fP\fIvalue\fP] \fIpairs\fP
specify the values to set on the class specified by \fB-C\fP using the same
format as the Subject line property manipulations. Can also be
specified with \fB--set\fP.
.SH DESCRIPTION
The roundup mail gateway may be called in one of four ways:
.IP \(bu
without arguments which will use the env var ROUNDUP_INSTANCE,
.IP \(bu
with an instance_home as the only argument,
.IP \(bu
with both an instance_home and a mail spool file, or
.IP \(bu
with both an instance home and a mail source type and its specification.
.PP
\fBPIPE\fP
.br
In the first and second cases, the mail gateway reads a single message from the
standard input and submits the message to the roundup.mailgw module.

\fBUNIX mailbox\fP
.br
In the second case, the gateway reads all messages from the mail spool
file and submits each in turn to the roundup.mailgw module. The file is
emptied once all messages have been successfully handled. The file is
specified as:
 \fImailbox /path/to/mailbox\fP

In all of the following the username and password can be stored in a
~/.netrc file. In this case only the server name need be specified on
the command-line.

The username and/or password will be prompted for if not supplied on
the command-line or in ~/.netrc.

\fBPOP\fP
.br
In the third case, the gateway reads all messages from the POP server
specified and submits each in turn to the roundup.mailgw module. The
server is specified as:
 \fBpop\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP
.br
The username and password may be omitted:
 \fBpop\fP \fIusername\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP
 \fBpop\fP \fIserver\fP
.br
are both valid.

\fBPOPS\fP
.br
Connect to the POP server over ssl/tls. This requires python 2.4 or
later. This supports the same notation as POP.

 
 \fBpops\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP
.br
etc.

\fBAPOP\fP
.br
Same as POP, but using Authenticated POP:
 \fBapop\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP

\fBIMAP\fP
.br
Connect to an IMAP server. This supports the same notation as that of
POP mail.
 \fBimap\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP
.br
It also allows you to specify a specific mailbox other than INBOX using
this format:
 \fBimap\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver mailbox\fP

\fBIMAPS\fP
.br
Connect to an IMAP server over ssl/tls.
This supports the same notation as IMAP.
 \fBimaps\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP [\fImailbox\fP]


\fBIMAPS_CRAM\fP
.br
Connect to an IMAP server over ssl/tls using CRAM-MD5 authentication.
This supports the same notation as IMAP.
 \fBimaps_cram\fP \fIusername\fP\fB:\fP\fIpassword\fP\fB@\fP\fIserver\fP [\fImailbox\fP]

.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

\fBROUNDUP_INSTANCE\fP
.br
This can be used to set the instance directory. If it is set, the
\fIinstance_home\fP argument is optional.

.SH EXAMPLE
If your msg class has a messsagetype property you can set
up aliases to receive the different types of messages. Setting up
an alias in your MTA Using:

  tracker: |/tools/roundup/bin/roundup-mailgw -C msg
             -S "messagetype=reply - to all" /var/roundup/sysadmin

(the lines are split for readability. In the alias file they will be
on the same line). Replace /tools/roundup/bin/roundup-mailgw by your
path to the roundup-mailgw. This creates the email alias "tracker". All
messages sent to it have their messagetype property set to "reply -
to all".  The roundup tracker instance is located at
/var/roundup/sysadmin.

A comment alias would receive emails at tracker_comment with:

  tracker_comment: |/tools/roundup/bin/roundup-mailgw -C msg 
             -S "messagetype=comment - to technical" /var/roundup/sysadmin

which would be a technical message. These messages can trigger
different workflows based on the messagetype.

Both examples use the default class specified in the tracker's
config.ini (usually the issue class).
