| 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 | |
| 11 You have luck, because this is what masqmail does by default. | |
| 12 | |
| 13 | |
| 14 Set up | |
| 15 ------ | |
| 16 | |
| 17 Follow the description in INSTALL. | |

| 23 | |
| 24 Configuration | |
| 25 ------------- | |
| 26 | |
| 27 You just need a minimal config file, having one line: | |
| 28 | |
| 29 host_name = "foo.example.org" | |
| 30 | |
| 31 (Substitute a real value, of course.) | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | |
| 34 Starting the daemon | |
| 35 ------------------- | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Listening for SMTP connections on a port requires masqmail to run as | |
| 38 daemon. You probably want to start masqmail as daemon each time the | |
| 39 system comes up. How you have to do that is system dependent. | |
| 40 /etc/rc.local is a good try to add the daemon call, because this file | |
| 41 seems to be frequently available. | |
| 42 | |
| 43 /usr/local/sbin/masqmail -bd -q10m | |
| 44 | |
| 45 This starts masqmail in daemon mode and does a queue run every ten | |
| 46 minutes. | |
| 47 | |
| 48 | |
| 49 Check the setup | |
| 50 --------------- | |
| 51 | |
| 52 Ensure you have the sendmail links correct: | |
| 53 | |
| 54 $ ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail | |
| 55 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail* | |
| 56 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail* | |
| 57 | |
| 58 Send a mail to yourself: | |
| 59 | |
| 60 $ echo "some text" | mail `whoami` | |
| 61 | |
| 62 Check if the mail was delivered (then delete it and quit): | |
| 63 | |
| 64 $ mail | |
| 65 Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001. Type ? for help. | |

| 82 In case of problems | |
| 83 ------------------- | |
| 84 | |
| 85 Have a look at the log file: /var/log/masqmail/masqmail.log | |
| 86 | |
| 87 Set the debug level in masqmail.conf, restart the daemon, redo the | |
| 88 test, and look at the debug file: /var/log/masqmail/debug.log | |
