💌 NAME

buildd-mail — the mail answer processor for buildd, bestie ✨ it reads the mail so you don't have to 💅

📬 SYNOPSIS

buildd-mail

That's it. That's the whole vibe. No flags, no args, she just works 🫶

🌸 VERSION

This man page is documenting the packaged version of buildd-mail, okay? This one is maintained by the buildd-tools project developers on Alioth over at https://alioth.debian.org/projects/buildd-tools/ 💜

There's also a version maintained by Ryan Murray which is adapted to build daemon needs, with similar functionality. Lowkey shades of the same thing. This version should be equally capable of working in a buildd setup, but ngl it has a number of enhancements aimed at making it suitable for use by end-users 🌈 so it's giving "same but friendlier," fr fr.

🎀 DESCRIPTION

buildd-mail processes incoming mail for the buildd user. That's the whole job. She's a mail-answer-processing icon and she knows it 👑

🔧 SETUP

The buildd user should have a file ~/.forward with exactly this inside:

|/usr/bin/buildd-mail

This will ensure all incoming mail gets processed using buildd-mail. No cap. Set it and forget it ✨
