/* NAME
/*	mail_task 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	set task name for logging purposes
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <mail_task.h>
/*
/*	const char *mail_task(argv0)
/*	const char *argv0;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	mail_task() enforces consistent naming of mailer processes.
/*	It strips pathname information from the process name, and
/*	prepends the name of the mail system so that logfile entries
/*	are easier to recognize. The mail system name is specified
/*	with the "syslog_name" configuration parameter.
/*
/*	The result is volatile.  Make a copy of the result if it is
/*	to be used for any appreciable amount of time.
/* LICENSE
