.SH NAME
-mh-tailor, mts.conf \- mail transport customization for nmh message handler
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.I %etcdir%/mts.conf
+mh\-tailor \- obsolete man page
.SH DESCRIPTION
-The file
-.I %etcdir%/mts.conf
-defines run-time options for those
-.B nmh
-programs which interact (in some form) with the message transport system.
-At present, these (user) programs are:
-.BR ap ,
-.BR conflict ,
-.BR inc ,
-.BR msgchk ,
-.BR post ,
-.BR rcvdist ,
-and
-.BR rcvpack .
-.PP
-Each option should be given on a single line. Blank lines and lines
-which begin with `#' are ignored. The options available along with
-default values and a description of their meanings are listed below:
-.PP
+.B "This man page is in transition state.
+.B "It's original use is gone.
+.B "Eventually it will be removed.
+.B "Until then, it contains information that have no better place yet.
+.SS "Spost's handling of From: headers
.B spost
will send messages by forking a
local copy of
.BR sendmail .
.PP
-.BR masquerade:
-.RS 5
-This directive controls email address masquerading.
-The possible value is \*(lqusername_extension\*(rq.
-.PP
-If specified and if the user sets the
-.B $USERNAME_EXTENSION
-environment variable, its value will be appended to the actual login name. For
-instance, if I am \*(lqdan@company.com\*(rq, and I set
-.B $USERNAME_EXTENSION
-to \*(lq\-www\*(rq, my mail will appear to come from \*(lqdan\-www@company.com\*(rq. This is meant
-to interact with qmail's \*(lquser\-extension\*(rq feature, where mail sent to
-.IR user \- string
-will be delivered to
-.IR user .
-Likewise, those using
-versions of sendmail for which \*(lqplussed user\*(rq processing is active can set
-.B $USERNAME_EXTENSION
-to \*(lq+\fIstring\fR\*(rq. These MTA features are useful
-because they allow one to use different email addresses in different situations
-(to aid in automatic mail filtering or in determining where spammers got one's
-address) while only actually having a single account. Note that
-.B $USERNAME_EXTENSION
-is only appended to the username when \fIpost\fR is
-generating \*(lq[Resent\-]From:\*(rq lines and the SMTP envelope
-\*(lqFrom:\*(rq.
-.BR inc ,
-for instance, will not try to read from a maildrop file called \*(lqdan\-www\*(rq (to
-recall the earlier example).
-.PP
-In any case:
-When a user explicitly specifies a \*(lqFrom:\*(rq header in a draft,
+When a user explicitly specifies a `From:' header in a draft,
.B nmh
uses it
rather than constructing its own. However, to discourage email forgery, the
-SMTP envelope \*(lqFrom:\*(rq and a \*(lqSender:\*(rq header are set to the user's real address.
+SMTP envelope `From:' and a `Sender:' header are set to the user's real address.

-file.

-.BR slocal (1)

.SS "File Locking"
A few words on locking:
.B nmh
.PP
To configure
.B nmh
-for kernel locking, use the \*(lq--with-locking=flock\*(rq configure option if
+for kernel locking, use the `--with-locking=flock' configure option if
you want to use the
.B flock
-system call; use \*(lq--with-locking=lockf\*(rq if
+system call; use `--with-locking=lockf' if
you want to use the
.B lockf
-system call; or use \*(lq--with-locking=fcntl\*(rq
+system call; or use `--with-locking=fcntl'
if you want to use the
.B fcntl
system call for kernel-level locking.
.PP
Instead of kernel locking, you can configure
.B nmh
-to use dot locking by using \*(lq--with-locking=dot\*(rq. Dot locking
+to use dot locking by using `--with-locking=dot'. Dot locking
specifies that
-a file should be created whose existence means \*(lqlocked\*(rq and
-whose non-existence means \*(lqunlocked\*(rq. The name of this file is
-constructed by appending \*(lq.lock\*(rq to the name of the file being
+a file should be created whose existence means `locked' and
+whose non-existence means `unlocked'. The name of this file is
+constructed by appending `.lock' to the name of the file being
locked. If
.B LOCKDIR
is not specified, lock files will be created
.BR nmh ,
you should see how locking is done at
your site, and set the appropriate values.
