modes are now enforced exclusive
Other MTAs (exim, postfix) are more relaxing, but as combinations
of exclusive modes are senseless we behave more obvious if we
fail early. This makes understanding the behavior easier too.

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).

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.
|

|
|

|
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.
|
|

|
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
