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.

| 186 | 1 Simple Setup |
| 2 ============ | |
| 3 | |
| 4 You want | |
| 5 -------- | |
| 6 | |
| 7 - submit mail on stdin by calling masqmail on the commandline | |
| 8 - submit mail with SMTP from the local machine | |
| 9 - let masqmail deliver mail locally to the system mailboxes /var/mail/* | |
| 10 - let masqmail forward non-local mail through a smart host | |
| 11 | |
| 12 This is like the simple-local-setup plus the forwarding. | |
| 13 | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Set up | |
| 16 ------ | |
| 17 | |
| 18 Follow the description in INSTALL. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 A common configure call would be: | |
| 21 | |
| 22 ./configure --enable-auth --enable-ident | |
| 23 | |
| 24 | |
| 25 Configuration | |
| 26 ------------- | |
| 27 | |
| 28 You need a config file like this one: | |
| 29 | |
| 30 host_name = "foo.example.org" | |
| 31 online_routes.default = /etc/masqmail/default.route | |
| 32 | |
| 33 (Substitute a real hostname, of course.) | |
| 34 | |
| 35 Addionally you need to create the route config file like: | |
| 36 | |
| 37 # where to relay to; the address and port of the smart host | |
| 38 mail_host = "mail.gmx.net:25" | |
| 223 | 39 # use a wrapper to enable encryption |
| 40 # for STARTTLS on port 25: | |
| 41 #instant_helo=true | |
| 42 #wrapper="/usr/bin/openssl s_client -quiet -starttls smtp -connect mail.gmx.net:25 2>/dev/null" | |
| 43 # for SMTP over SSL on port 465: | |
| 44 #wrapper = "/usr/bin/openssl s_client -quiet -connect mail.gmx.net:465 2>/dev/null" | |
| 186 | 45 |
| 46 do_correct_helo = true | |
| 47 | |
| 48 # rewrite the From addresses to ones visible from the outside | |
| 49 map_return_path_addresses = "meillo: schnalke4@gmx.de" | |
| 50 map_h_from_addresses = "meillo: markus schnalke <schnalke4@gmx.de>" | |
| 51 | |
| 52 # it's good to use "login" only if the connection is encrypted | |
| 53 auth_name = "login" | |
| 54 #auth_name = "cram-md5" | |
| 55 auth_login = "UID_OR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" | |
| 56 auth_secret = "PASSWORD" | |
| 57 | |
| 58 | |
| 59 | |
| 60 Starting the daemon | |
| 61 ------------------- | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Listening for SMTP connections on a port requires masqmail to run as | |
| 64 daemon. You probably want to start masqmail as daemon each time the | |
| 65 system comes up. How you have to do that is system dependent. | |
| 66 /etc/rc.local is a good try to add the daemon call, because this file | |
| 67 seems to be frequently available. | |
| 68 | |
| 69 /usr/local/sbin/masqmail -bd -q10m | |
| 70 | |
| 71 This starts masqmail in daemon mode and does a queue run every ten | |
| 72 minutes. | |
| 73 | |
| 74 | |
| 75 Check the setup | |
| 76 --------------- | |
| 77 | |
| 78 Like in simple-local-setup plus ... | |
| 79 | |
| 80 Send a mail to a remote location: | |
| 81 | |
| 82 $ echo "some text" | mail foo@somewhereelse.example.org | |
| 83 | |
| 84 Check if it is queued: | |
| 85 | |
| 86 $ masqmail -bp | |
| 87 | |
| 88 Deliver it with: | |
| 89 | |
| 90 $ masqmail -qo default | |
| 91 | |
| 92 Check the queue contents again. | |
| 93 | |
| 94 You need to do such queue runs for online routes explicitely. For | |
| 95 instance by cron. | |
| 96 | |
| 97 | |
| 98 Automatic queue runs | |
| 99 -------------------- | |
| 100 | |
| 101 You can also tell masqmail to send queued mails through a route each | |
| 102 time the daemon does a queue run. Therefor you need to tell masqmail | |
| 103 that it is online and can use the default route to deliver mail. | |
| 104 | |
| 105 Add this to masqmail.conf: | |
| 106 | |
|

|
107 online_query = "/bin/echo default" |
| 186 | 108 |
| 109 Now masqmail will send online mail automatically through the default | |
| 110 route, each time it does a queue run (every ten minutes). | |
| 111 | |
| 112 | |
| 113 In case of problems | |
| 114 ------------------- | |
| 115 | |
| 116 Have a look at the log file: /var/log/masqmail/masqmail.log | |
| 117 | |
| 118 Set the debug level in masqmail.conf, restart the daemon, redo the | |
| 119 test, and look at the debug file: /var/log/masqmail/debug.log | |
| 120 | |
| 121 If you use a wrapper, test it manually and interactively on the | |
| 122 command line. | |
