6 If you discover a bug then please report it. Your bug reports are an
|

9 Valuable bug report include the following information. The first two
|
|
meillo@67
|
10 are essential, the others can also be added on request.

11
|
|
meillo@67
|
12 - A good description of what you consider to be the bug.
|
|
meillo@67
|
13
|
|
meillo@67
|
14 - The version of masqmail that was used. (The output of: masqmail -bV).
|
|
meillo@67
|
15
|
|
meillo@67
|
16 - A description on how to reproduce it. This includes information on
|
|
meillo@67
|
17 other software that is involved.
|
|
meillo@67
|
18
|
|
meillo@67
|
19 - The configuration files. These are probably the contents of
|
|
meillo@67
|
20 /etc/masqmail/*. Don't forget to substitute confidential data with
|
|
meillo@67
|
21 placeholders.
|
|
meillo@67
|
22
|
|
meillo@67
|
23 - The relevant log files. Have a look at the value of use_syslog and
|
|
meillo@67
|
24 log_dir in masqmail.conf. If use_syslog is enabled, the files are
|
|
meillo@67
|
25 probably some of /var/log/mail*. If you don't use syslog, then the
|
|
meillo@67
|
26 files reside unter the path assigned to log_dir, or by default in
|
|
meillo@67
|
27 /var/log/masqmail/. Take care to substitute confidential data if you
|
|
meillo@67
|
28 send debug files. (It's good to run masqmail with `-d 5' or `-d 6' to
|
|
meillo@67
|
29 generate debugging data that may help to track down the bug.
