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.

2 ----------------------
4 Send three mails, using different options, to stdin of masqmail, which
5 relays it per STMP to a local MTA listening at localhost:25.
7 So use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail,
8 exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already
9 installed).
11 If it works, you should get three mails.
12 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within
13 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.
15 The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox
16 (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the
17 interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell
18 command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable.
20 If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may
21 have to qualify the hostname. You might want to do this in a way
22 similar to:
24 sed 's/RECV_HOST/foo.example.org/' test.tpl >test
