Fixed an important bug with folded headers! g_strconcat() returns a *copy* of the string, but hdr->value still pointed to the old header (which probably was a memory leak, too). If the folded part had been quite small it was likely that the new string was at the same position as the old one, thus making everything go well. But if pretty long headers were folded several times it was likely that the new string was allocated somewhere else in memory, thus breaking things. In result mails to lots of recipients (folded header) were frequently only sent to the ones in the first line. Sorry for the inconvenience.

meillo@63 1 relay-to-localhost-mta
meillo@63 2 ----------------------
meillo@63 3
meillo@63 4 Send three mails, using different options, to stdin of masqmail, which
meillo@63 5 relays it per STMP to a local MTA listening at localhost:25.
meillo@63 6
meillo@63 7 So use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail,
meillo@63 8 exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already
meillo@63 9 installed).
meillo@63 10
meillo@63 11 If it works, you should get three mails.
meillo@63 12 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within
meillo@63 13 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.
meillo@63 14
meillo@63 15 The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox
meillo@63 16 (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the
meillo@63 17 interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell
meillo@63 18 command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable.
meillo@63 19
meillo@63 20 If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may
meillo@63 21 have to qualify the hostname. You might want to do this in a way
meillo@63 22 similar to:
meillo@63 23
meillo@63 24 sed 's/RECV_HOST/foo.example.org/' test.tpl >test
