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