ZARAFA-SPOOLER(1)                                            ZARAFA-SPOOLER(1)



NAME
       zarafa-spooler - Start the Zarafa spooler.

SYNOPSIS
       zarafa-spooler [OPTION...] [SERVERNAME]


DESCRIPTION




       The spooler sends all pending Zarafa e-mail to the recipients. When
       started, the program will keep running and sending messages whenever
       needed.




       The outgoing mailserver can be overwritten from the config file by
       specifying this on the commandline.




       The default settings of the spooler program are defined in
       zarafa-spooler.cfg(5).



OPTIONS




       Various options are possible. None of these options are required.




       --config, -c spooler.cfg
              Specify the location of the spooler.cfg file. If the spooler.cfg
              file is not specified, the spooler will try to load
              /etc/zarafa/server.cfg. If that file is not present, it will
              continue using it's default settings.


       --host, -h path
              Connect to the Zarafa server through path, e.g.
              file:///path/to/socket. Default: file:///var/run/zarafa.
              Overrides the config file setting.


       --foreground, -F
              Run in the foreground. Normally the spooler will daemonize and
              run in the background.



USAGE




       To start the spooler delivering e-mail to recipients:




       zarafa-spooler




       To start the spooler delivering e-mail through smtp.example.com:




       zarafa-spooler smtp.example.com




       The spooler process will keep running and watching the outgoing queue
       for new mail to send.



SIGNALS


       The following signals can be sent to the zarafa-spooler process:



       HUP    When the HUP signal is received, some options from the
              configuration file are reloaded. The reloadable options are
              listed in the zarafa-spooler.cfg(5) manual page.

              Also, when using log_method = file, the logfile will be closed
              and a new logfile will be opened. You can use this signal in
              your logrotate system.


       TERM   To gracefully let the service exit, the normal TERM signal is
              used. Because of multiple running threads, it may take up to 60
              seconds for the server to completely shutdown.
