Does the map command run the entire command, then each row?

[PatrickButterly]

So I noticed this while using sendmail can somebody confirm that I understand the map commands functionality? I cant see it in the docs

if the command was "search ...| map [ | sendemail ..etc.. ]"

it would execute :
"search ... | sendemail ..etc.. ]"
"search row1 ... | sendemail ..etc.. ]"
"search row2 ... | sendemail ..etc.. ]"
and so on.

Thank you

That is exactly correct. Be aware that the default is maxsearches=5 so you might need to make it maxsearches=100 or something. Be careful, though; this spawns many searches and can easily lead to queuing and other "too busy" problems.

Beautiful thanks very much for that

I think you mean maxsearches not limit
