−Simple Setup
+
−============
+
−
+
−You want
+
−--------
+
−
+
−- submit mail on stdin by calling masqmail on the commandline
+
−- submit mail with SMTP from the local machine
+
−- let masqmail deliver mail locally to the system mailboxes /var/mail/*
+
−
+
−You have luck, because this is what masqmail does by default.
+
−
+
−
+
−Set up
+
−------
+
−
+
−Follow the description in INSTALL.
+
−
+
−A common configure call would be:
+
−
+
−    ./configure --enable-auth --enable-ident
+
−
+
−
+
−Configuration
+
−-------------
+
−
+
−You just need a minimal config file, having one line:
+
−
+
−    host_name = "foo.example.org"
+
−
+
−(Substitute a real value, of course.)
+
−
+
−
+
−Starting the daemon
+
−-------------------
+
−
+
−Listening for SMTP connections on a port requires masqmail to run as
+
−daemon. You probably want to start masqmail as daemon each time the
+
−system comes up. How you have to do that is system dependent.
+
−/etc/rc.local is a good try to add the daemon call, because this file
+
−seems to be frequently available.
+
−
+
−    /usr/local/sbin/masqmail -bd -q10m
+
−
+
−This starts masqmail in daemon mode and does a queue run every ten
+
−minutes.
+
−
+
−
+
−Check the setup
+
−---------------
+
−
+
−Ensure you have the sendmail links correct:
+
−
+
−    $ ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
+
−    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail*
+
−    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail*
+
−
+
−Send a mail to yourself:
+
−
+
−    $ echo "some text" | mail `whoami`
+
−
+
−Check if the mail was delivered (then delete it and quit):
+
−
+
−    $  mail
+
−    Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001.  Type ? for help.

−In case of problems
+
−-------------------
+
−
+
−Have a look at the log file: /var/log/masqmail/masqmail.log
+
−
+
−Set the debug level in masqmail.conf, restart the daemon, redo the
+
−test, and look at the debug file: /var/log/masqmail/debug.log
+

+
−Ask on the mailing list: <masqmail@marmaro.de>
