     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt invokes qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----sssseeeennnndddd, qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn,  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----rrrrssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn,
     and qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----cccclllleeeeaaaannnn, under the proper uids and gids.  These four
     daemons cooperate to deliver messages from the queue.

     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt arranges for qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----sssseeeennnndddd's activity record to  be
     sent to qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt's output.  See qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----lllloooogggg((((5555)))) for the for-
     mat of the activity record.  Other  than  this,  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt
     does not print anything, even on failure.

     If _d_e_f_a_u_l_t_d_e_l_i_v_e_r_y is supplied,  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt  passes  it  to
     qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllssssppppaaaawwwwnnnn.

     If _l_o_g_g_e_r is supplied, qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt invokes _l_o_g_g_e_r  with  the
     given  arguments,  and  feeds  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----sssseeeennnndddd's  activity record
     through _l_o_g_g_e_r.

     Environment variables given to qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt  will  eventually
     be  passed  on  to qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllooooccccaaaallll, so make sure to clean up the
     environment if you run qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt manually:

        # env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH"
        qmail-start ./Mailbox splogger qmail &
        (all on one line)

     Resource limits, controlling ttys, et al.  are  also  passed
     from qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt to qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----llllooooccccaaaallll.

     Note that qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----sssseeeennnndddd normally juggles  several  simultaneous
     deliveries.   To  reduce  qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----sssseeeennnndddd's  impact on other pro-
     grams, you can run qqqqmmmmaaaaiiiillll----ssssttttaaaarrrrtttt with a low priority.
