I was messing around with backing up mail with my Qmail server, and
there is a utility that comes with it called, maildir2mbox. This utility
requires an environment variable named:
MAILTMP
I don't know if this is a system wide variable, or something just with
Qmail. Maybe this is a pointer, maybe not.
My /etc/profile
MAILTMP="/home/$USER/.mailtmp"

| want to modify the message considerably by piping it to a script. The
| modifications are such that they can not be done in situ. I have to
| create another temporary file. The question is this - how do I replace
| the original temporary file in the tmp directory by the new one so I can
| then send the new file rather than the original? Is there a variable
| that refers to the original file so I can just do:-
|
| mv /tmp/new-file $variable
|
| and overwrite the original message file? I can not find a pointer to
| this but I may be missing the obvious of course.

| Cheers, Brian.
