masqmail-0.2

annotate tests/localhost-stdin/README @ 72:ad034b57f3b2

fixed Debian bug 536060 (log files are closed after SIGHUP receival) Explanation: When run in daemon mode, first the log files are opened. They get assigned to the file descriptors 3 and 4 usually. Then std{in,out,err} are closed. When SIGHUP comes in, all open files are closes and masqmail reexecutes itself. The new masqmail instance opens the log files at fd 0 and 1 now, but std{in,out,err} are closed afterwards, thus the log files are closed. The fix is to close the log files before std{in,out,err} are closed, in case the log files have higher fds. After std{in,out,err} were closed, the log files get opened again, now.

meillo@63 2 ---------------
meillo@0 3
meillo@63 4 Three mails are sent, using different options, to <you@localhost>.
meillo@0 5 local.sh sends mail accepted from stdin and sends them to a fake local
meillo@0 6 mailbox, using your login name. If it works, there should be a file
meillo@0 7 named with your login name with the mails. You can look at it with cat
meillo@0 8 or less, or with an ordinary mail program.
meillo@0 9
meillo@0 10 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within
meillo@0 11 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.
meillo@0 12
meillo@63 13 Run them from within this directory, preferably NOT as root, but you
meillo@63 14 got to have write permission for this directory.
