| 1 Here a two test programs: local.sh and smtpout.sh. They both send | |
| 2 three mails, using different options. Run them from within this | |
| 3 directory, preferably NOT as root, but you got to have write | |
| 4 permission for this directory. | |
| 5 | |
| 6 local.sh sends mail accepted from stdin and sends them to a fake local | |
| 7 mailbox, using your login name. If it works, there should be a file | |
| 8 named with your login name with the mails. You can look at it with cat | |
| 9 or less, or with an ordinary mail program. | |
| 10 | |
| 11 smtpout.sh sends mail accepted from stdin and sends them to your local | |
| 12 MTA, so use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail, | |
| 13 exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already | |
| 14 installed). If it works, you should get three mails. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox | |
| 17 (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the | |
| 18 interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell | |
| 19 command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable. They are | |
| 20 created with make from test.templ. They use a special configuration | |
| 21 (test.conf) for masqmail, which is also created with make from | |
| 22 conf.templ. | |
| 23 | |
| 24 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within | |
| 25 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong. | |
| 26 | |
| 27 If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may | |
| 28 have to qualify the hostname: Say | |
| 29 | |
| 30 sed s/RECV_HOST/foo.bar.com/ test.templ > smtpout.sh | |
| 31 | |
| 32 where you set your fully qualified host name for foo.bar.com. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 If they do not work, there could be some problem with either the test | |
| 35 programs, the configuration file or masqmail itself. If you have | |
| 36 installed masqmail successfully and these scripts do not work, do not | |
| 37 worry too much :-). |
