masqmail

added old manual from the old website it is dated May/July 2000

line source

1 Here a two test programs: local.sh and smtpout.sh. They both send

2 three mails, using different options. Run them from within this

3 directory, preferably NOT as root, but you got to have write

4 permission for this directory.

6 local.sh sends mail accepted from stdin and sends them to a fake local

7 mailbox, using your login name. If it works, there should be a file

8 named with your login name with the mails. You can look at it with cat

9 or less, or with an ordinary mail program.

11 smtpout.sh sends mail accepted from stdin and sends them to your local

12 MTA, so use it only if you have an MTA running on your box (sendmail,

13 exim, qmail or whatever, or masqmail when you have it already

14 installed). If it works, you should get three mails.

16 The scripts assume that your login name corresponds to your mailbox

17 (quite probable) and that your MTA listens on port 25 with the

18 interface which corresponds to the hostname as returned by the shell

19 command "hostname" (without quotes...), also very probable. They are

20 created with make from test.templ. They use a special configuration

21 (test.conf) for masqmail, which is also created with make from

22 conf.templ.

24 Two log files, masqmail.log and debug.log will also be created within

25 this directory. They may give some information if anything went wrong.

27 If the log files reveal that your MTA is not willing to relay, you may

28 have to qualify the hostname: Say

30 sed s/RECV_HOST/foo.bar.com/ test.templ > smtpout.sh

32 where you set your fully qualified host name for foo.bar.com.

34 If they do not work, there could be some problem with either the test

35 programs, the configuration file or masqmail itself. If you have

36 installed masqmail successfully and these scripts do not work, do not

37 worry too much :-).
