lostaltmail
===========

   A script used with Hlfsd to resend any "lost" mail.  Hlfsd redirects
mail which cannot be written into the user's home directory to an
alternate directory.  This is useful to continue delivering mail, even
if the user's file system was unavailable, full, or over quota.  But,
the mail which gets delivered to  the alternate directory needs to be
resent to its respective users.  This is what the `lostaltmail' script
does.

   Use it as follows:

     lostaltmail

   This script needs a configuration file `lostaltmail.conf' set up
with the right parameters to properly work.  Note: Hlfsd, for more
details.
