NAME
       lr_spool - feed files in a spooldir to a command

SYNOPSIS
       lr_spool spooldir command

DESCRIPTION
       For each file f in directory spooldir, lr_spool generates a unique
       LR_ID, exports it as a shell variable, and runs

        command < f

       . Before executing command, f is moved to $TMPDIR. If command exits
       successfully, f is removed (command is assumed to save stdin to a file,
       if it feels this is appropriate), else f is moved to LR_FAILEDDIR.

       In case any of spooldir, TMPDIR or LR_FAILEDDIR doesn't exist, it's
       created on the fly.

       This script is invoked by lr_spoold(1), which uses lr_processmail(1) as
       the command.

BUGS
       The directory spooldir is created using plain mkdir -p.  If spooldir is
       supposed to be part of a Maildir structure, only .../new/ is created.
       This does not satisfy for a valid Maildir.  One has to verify manually
       wether spooldir is part of a valid Maildir, and create it manually, on
       such a system.
