You must supply three environment variables to mmaaiillddiirr22mmbbooxx: MMAAIILLDDIIRR is the name of your _m_a_i_l_d_i_r directory; MMAAIILL is the name of your _m_b_o_x file; and MMAAIILLTTMMPP is a temporary file that mmaaiillddiirr22mmbbooxx can overwrite. MMAAIILLTTMMPP and MMAAIILL must be on the same filesystem. mmaaiillddiirr22mmbbooxx is reliable: it will not remove messages from MMAAIILLDDIIRR until the messages have been successfully appended to MMAAIILL. mmaaiillddiirr22mmbbooxx locks MMAAIILL to protect against simultaneous access by a mail reader. This locking system does not protect against simultaneous access by another mmaaiillddiirr22mmbbooxx; you should run only one mmaaiillddiirr22mmbbooxx at a time.
