It is undefined what it does. It certainly does not convert the file. It
probably mangles it. If you want to handle a conversion process, take a
look at the "file_format" option of the appendfile transport. For
example:
local_delivery:
driver = appendfile
check_string =
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
file = /var/spool/mail/$local_part
file_format = "*mbx*\r\n : local_delivery :\
From : local_bsd_delivery"
mbx_format
message_prefix =
message_suffix =
return_path_add
local_bsd_delivery:
driver = appendfile
delivery_date_add
envelope_to_add
file = /var/spool/mail/$local_part
return_path_add
