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.

localhost-stdin
---------------

Three mails are sent, using different options, to <you@localhost>.
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.

Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within
this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.

Run them from within this directory, preferably NOT as root, but you
got to have write permission for this directory.
