meillo@86: 
meillo@86: 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: 
meillo@86: %FIXME: rewrite!
meillo@86: %       How do I write use cases??
meillo@86: %       Are use cases the right tool for what I need, at all??
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: 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: 
meillo@86: \masqmail\ must deliver mail to its destination.
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: Mail must be send with different settings, if someone uses more than one internet connection.
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: 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: 
meillo@86: If the computer goes online, all mail for outside destinations, should be send through the active route.
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: Local mail should be send at once, independent of the online state.
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: \masqmail\ may act as \NAME{SMTP} server. To receive email from other hosts.
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: Mail for local users should be delivered by \masqmail\ itself or passed to \name{mail delivery agent}s.
meillo@86: 
meillo@86: \masqmail\ needs to provide the same interface as \sendmail\ has, for being a drop-in replacement.
