You can do several tests of messages entering the qmail system:
|
|
|
|
1. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace ``me''
|
|
with your username and ``domain'' with your host's name.
|
|
% telnet 127.0.0.1 25
|
|
Trying 127.0.0.1...
|
|
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
|
|
Escape character is '^]'.
|
|
220 domain ESMTP
|
|
helo dude
|
|
250 domain
|
|
mail <me@domain>
|
|
250 ok
|
|
rcpt <me@domain>
|
|
250 ok
|
|

Look for the message in your mailbox. (Note for programmers: Most
|
|
SMTP servers need more text after MAIL and RCPT. See RFC 821.)
|
|
|
|
2. Remote-local test: Send yourself some mail from another machine.
|
|
Look for the message in your mailbox.
|
|
|
|
3. Remote-error test: Send some mail from another machine to
|
|
nonexistent@domain. Look for a bounce message in the remote mailbox.
|
|
|
|
4. UA test: Try sending mail, first to a local account, then to a
|
|
remote account, with your normal user agent.
|
|
|
|
5. Remote-postmaster test: Send mail from another machine to
|
|
PoStMaStEr@domain. Look for the message in the alias mailbox,
|
|
normally ~alias/Mailbox.
