NAME
     qmail-lspawn - schedule local deliveries

SYNOPSIS
     qmail-lspawn aliasempty

DESCRIPTION
     qmail-lspawn reads a series of local delivery commands  from
     descriptor 0, invokes qmail-local to perform the deliveries,
     and  prints  the  results  to  descriptor  1.    It   passes
     aliasempty  to  qmail-local as the default delivery instruc-
     tion.

     qmail-lspawn  invokes  qmail-local  asynchronously,  so  the
     results may not be in the same order as the commands.

     For each recipient address,  qmail-lspawn  finds  out  which
     local  user  controls  that  address.   It  first checks the
     qmail-users mechanism; if the address is not  listed  there,
     it  invokes qmail-getpw.  qmail-lspawn then runs qmail-local
     under the user's uid and gid.  It does not set up  any  sup-
     plementary groups.

     qmail-lspawn  treats  an  empty  mailbox  name  as  a  trash
     address.
