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
