Linux mailcompat command

On SunOS version 4, the mailcompat command provides compatibility for the Solaris mailbox format. Run mailcompat to read mail on a workstation running SunOS 4.x, when your mail server is running Solaris.

Description

Enabling mailcompat creates an entry in your .forward file, if it exists. If this file does not exist, mailcompat creates it. Disabling mailcompat removes the entry from the .forward file, and if this was the only entry, removes the entire file.

To execute mailcompat, log onto the Solaris mail server and enter mailcompat on the command line. Answer the queries provided by the program.
