### 3.14 putmail ¶

The `putmail` utility reads a message from its standard input and delivers it to the specified mailbox URL. The usage is:

    putmail URL

For example, to deliver mail to a local mailbox `/var/spool/mail/test`:

    putmail /var/spool/mail/test

Of course, this would work only it the `test` mailbox is writable for the user invoking `putmail`.

The `smtp` mailbox scheme can be used for remote delivery. For example:

    putmail 'smtp://mail.example.org;to=ovr'

The program will initiate SMTP dialog with the server ‘`mail.example.org`’ and will send the message from its standard input to the user ‘`ovr`’ on that server.
