meillo@86 1 \chapter{Use cases}
meillo@86 2
meillo@86 3 Here follow typical use cases for \masqmail. If other \MTA{}s are better suited for certain use cases, it will be mentioned. The use cases are prestage for defining the requirements.
meillo@86 4
meillo@86 5 %FIXME: rewrite!
meillo@86 6 % How do I write use cases??
meillo@86 7 % Are use cases the right tool for what I need, at all??
meillo@86 8
meillo@86 9 The user writes email with one of the common programs (e.g. \path{/bin/mail} or \name{mutt}). \masqmail\ must provide an interface, to that prepared mail can be handled over.
meillo@86 10
meillo@86 11 \masqmail\ must deliver mail to its destination.
meillo@86 12
meillo@86 13 Mail must be send with different settings, if someone uses more than one internet connection.
meillo@86 14
meillo@86 15 If the machine is offline, no mail, destinated to the internet, must be send. It needs to be queued until an online connection gets established.
meillo@86 16
meillo@86 17 If the computer goes online, all mail for outside destinations, should be send through the active route.
meillo@86 18
meillo@86 19 Local mail should be send at once, independent of the online state.
meillo@86 20
meillo@86 21 \masqmail\ may act as \NAME{SMTP} server. To receive email from other hosts.
meillo@86 22
meillo@86 23 Mail for local users should be delivered by \masqmail\ itself or passed to \name{mail delivery agent}s.
meillo@86 24
meillo@86 25 \masqmail\ needs to provide the same interface as \sendmail\ has, for being a drop-in replacement.
