Changed lockdir to /var/lock/masqmail; Create lockdir and piddir on startup.
Moved the lockdir out of the spool dir. (When /var/lock is a ramdisk
we do well to have the lock files there.) Added the new configure option
--with-lockdir to change that location. Nontheless, if we run_as_user,
then lock files are always stored in the spool dir directly.
Instead of installing the lockdir and piddir at installation time, we
create them on startup time now if they are missing. This is necessary
if lockdir or piddir are a tmpfs.

relay-to-localhost-mta ---------------------- Send three mails, using different options, to stdin of masqmail, which relays it per STMP to a local MTA listening at localhost:25. So use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail, exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already installed). If it works, you should get three mails. Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong. The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable. If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may have to qualify the hostname. You might want to do this in a way similar to: sed 's/RECV_HOST/foo.example.org/' test.tpl >test
