You can do several tests of qmail delivery without setting up qmail to
|
|
accept messages through SMTP or through /usr/lib/sendmail:
|
|
|
|
1. After you start qmail, look for a
|
|
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
|
|
line in syslog. qmail-send always prints either ``cannot start'' or
|
|
``status''. (The big number is a splogger timestamp.)
|
|
|
|
2. Do a ps and look for the qmail daemons. There should be four of
|
|
them, all idle: qmail-send, running as qmails; qmail-lspawn, running
|
|
as root; qmail-rspawn, running as qmailr; and qmail-clean, running
|
|
as qmailq. You will also see splogger, running as qmaill.
|
|
|
|
3. Local-local test: Send yourself an empty message. (Replace ``me''
|
|
with your username. Make sure to include the ``to:'' colon.)
|
|
% echo to: me | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
|
|
The message will show up immediately in your mailbox, and syslog
|
|
will show something like this:
|
|
qmail: new msg 53
|
|
qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20345 uid 666
|
|
qmail: starting delivery 1: msg 53 to local me@domain
|
|
qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: delivery 1: success: did_1+0+0/
|
|
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: end msg 53
|
|
(53 is an inode number; 20345 is a process ID; your numbers will
|
|
probably be different.)
|
|
|
|
4. Local-error test: Send a message to a nonexistent local address.
|
|
% echo to: nonexistent | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
|
|
qmail: new msg 53
|
|
qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20351 uid 666
|
|
qmail: starting delivery 2: msg 53 to local nonexistent@domain
|
|
qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: delivery 2: failure: No_such_address.__#5.1.1_/
|
|
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: bounce msg 53 qp 20357
|
|
qmail: end msg 53
|
|
qmail: new msg 54
|
|
qmail: info msg 54: bytes 743 from <> qp 20357 uid 666
|
|
qmail: starting delivery 3: msg 54 to local me@domain
|
|
qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: delivery 3: success: did_1+0+0/
|
|
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: end msg 54
|
|
You will now have a bounce message in your mailbox.
|
|
|
|
5. Local-remote test: Send an empty message to your account on another
|
|
machine.
|
|
% echo to: me@wherever | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
|
|
qmail: new msg 53
|
|
qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20372 uid 666
|
|
qmail: starting delivery 4: msg 53 to remote me@wherever
|
|
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 1/20
|
|
qmail: delivery 4: success: 1.2.3.4_accepted_message./...
|
|
qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
|
|
qmail: end msg 53
|
|
There will be a pause between ``starting delivery'' and ``success'';
|
|
SMTP is slow. Check that the message is in your mailbox on the other
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
6. Local-postmaster test: Send mail to postmaster, any capitalization.
|
|
% echo to: POSTmaster | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
|
|
Look for the message in the alias mailbox, normally ~alias/Mailbox.
|
|
|
|
7. Double-bounce test: Send a message with a completely bad envelope.
|
|
% /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f nonexistent
|
|
To: unknownuser
|
|
Subject: testing
|
|
|
|
This is a test. This is only a test.
|
|
%
|
|
(Use end-of-file, not dot, to end the message.) Look for the double
|
|
bounce in the alias mailbox.
|
|
|
|
8. Group membership test:
|
|
% cat > ~me/.qmail-groups
|
|
|groups >> MYGROUPS; exit 0
|
|
% /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject me-groups < /dev/null
|
|
% cat ~me/MYGROUPS
|
|
MYGROUPS will show your normal gid and nothing else. (Under Solaris,
|
|
make sure to use /usr/ucb/groups; /usr/bin/groups is broken.)
