Removed ident. This had been discussed on the mailing list in Oct 2011.
Ident is hardly useful in typical setups for masqmail. Probably Oliver
had used it in his setup; that would make sense. Now, I know of nobody
who needs it.

| meillo@186 | 1 Simple Setup |
| meillo@186 | 2 ============ |
| meillo@186 | 3 |
| meillo@186 | 4 You want |
| meillo@186 | 5 -------- |
| meillo@186 | 6 |
| meillo@186 | 7 - submit mail on stdin by calling masqmail on the commandline |
| meillo@186 | 8 - submit mail with SMTP from the local machine |
| meillo@186 | 9 - let masqmail deliver mail locally to the system mailboxes /var/mail/* |
| meillo@186 | 10 |
| meillo@186 | 11 You have luck, because this is what masqmail does by default. |
| meillo@186 | 12 |
| meillo@186 | 13 |
| meillo@186 | 14 Set up |
| meillo@186 | 15 ------ |
| meillo@186 | 16 |
| meillo@186 | 17 Follow the description in INSTALL. |
| meillo@186 | 18 |
| meillo@378 | 19 Most times it's simply: |
| meillo@186 | 20 |
| meillo@378 | 21 ./configure |
| meillo@186 | 22 |
| meillo@186 | 23 |
| meillo@186 | 24 Configuration |
| meillo@186 | 25 ------------- |
| meillo@186 | 26 |
| meillo@186 | 27 You just need a minimal config file, having one line: |
| meillo@186 | 28 |
| meillo@186 | 29 host_name = "foo.example.org" |
| meillo@186 | 30 |
| meillo@186 | 31 (Substitute a real value, of course.) |
| meillo@186 | 32 |
| meillo@186 | 33 |
| meillo@186 | 34 Starting the daemon |
| meillo@186 | 35 ------------------- |
| meillo@186 | 36 |
| meillo@186 | 37 Listening for SMTP connections on a port requires masqmail to run as |
| meillo@186 | 38 daemon. You probably want to start masqmail as daemon each time the |
| meillo@186 | 39 system comes up. How you have to do that is system dependent. |
| meillo@186 | 40 /etc/rc.local is a good try to add the daemon call, because this file |
| meillo@186 | 41 seems to be frequently available. |
| meillo@186 | 42 |
| meillo@186 | 43 /usr/local/sbin/masqmail -bd -q10m |
| meillo@186 | 44 |
| meillo@186 | 45 This starts masqmail in daemon mode and does a queue run every ten |
| meillo@186 | 46 minutes. |
| meillo@186 | 47 |
| meillo@186 | 48 |
| meillo@186 | 49 Check the setup |
| meillo@186 | 50 --------------- |
| meillo@186 | 51 |
| meillo@186 | 52 Ensure you have the sendmail links correct: |
| meillo@186 | 53 |
| meillo@186 | 54 $ ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail |
| meillo@186 | 55 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail* |
| meillo@186 | 56 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail* |
| meillo@186 | 57 |
| meillo@186 | 58 Send a mail to yourself: |
| meillo@186 | 59 |
| meillo@186 | 60 $ echo "some text" | mail `whoami` |
| meillo@186 | 61 |
| meillo@186 | 62 Check if the mail was delivered (then delete it and quit): |
| meillo@186 | 63 |
| meillo@186 | 64 $ mail |
| meillo@186 | 65 Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001. Type ? for help. |

| meillo@186 | 86 |
| meillo@186 | 87 Set the debug level in masqmail.conf, restart the daemon, redo the |
| meillo@186 | 88 test, and look at the debug file: /var/log/masqmail/debug.log |
