fixed correct processing of mails with data lines longer 4096 chars Mail messages with lines longer than 4096 chars were already read correctly, i.e. the spool files were correct. This commit fixes the reading of spool files with long lines. The old behavior was that the message body was truncated right before the first line longer 4096 chars. The number comes from MAX_DATALINE.

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
