1 You can do several tests of qmail delivery without setting up qmail to |
|
2 accept messages through SMTP or through /usr/lib/sendmail: |
|
3 |
|
4 1. After you start qmail, look for a |
|
5 qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 |
|
6 line in syslog. qmail-send always prints either ``cannot start'' or |
|
7 ``status''. (The big number is a splogger timestamp.) |
|
8 |
|
9 2. Do a ps and look for the qmail daemons. There should be four of |
|
10 them, all idle: qmail-send, running as qmails; qmail-lspawn, running |
|
11 as root; qmail-rspawn, running as qmailr; and qmail-clean, running |
|
12 as qmailq. You will also see splogger, running as qmaill. |
|
13 |
|
14 3. Local-local test: Send yourself an empty message. (Replace ``me'' |
|
15 with your username. Make sure to include the ``to:'' colon.) |
|
16 % echo to: me | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject |
|
17 The message will show up immediately in your mailbox, and syslog |
|
18 will show something like this: |
|
19 qmail: new msg 53 |
|
20 qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20345 uid 666 |
|
21 qmail: starting delivery 1: msg 53 to local me@domain |
|
22 qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 |
|
23 qmail: delivery 1: success: did_1+0+0/ |
|
24 qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 |
|
25 qmail: end msg 53 |
|
26 (53 is an inode number; 20345 is a process ID; your numbers will |
|
27 probably be different.) |
|
28 |
|
29 4. Local-error test: Send a message to a nonexistent local address. |
|
30 % echo to: nonexistent | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject |
|
31 qmail: new msg 53 |
|
32 qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20351 uid 666 |
|
33 qmail: starting delivery 2: msg 53 to local nonexistent@domain |
|
34 qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 |
|
35 qmail: delivery 2: failure: No_such_address.__#5.1.1_/ |
|
36 qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 |
|
37 qmail: bounce msg 53 qp 20357 |
|
38 qmail: end msg 53 |
|
39 qmail: new msg 54 |
|
40 qmail: info msg 54: bytes 743 from <> qp 20357 uid 666 |
|
41 qmail: starting delivery 3: msg 54 to local me@domain |
|
42 qmail: status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 |
|
43 qmail: delivery 3: success: did_1+0+0/ |
|
44 qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 |
|
45 qmail: end msg 54 |
|
46 You will now have a bounce message in your mailbox. |
|
47 |
|
48 5. Local-remote test: Send an empty message to your account on another |
|
49 machine. |
|
50 % echo to: me@wherever | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject |
|
51 qmail: new msg 53 |
|
52 qmail: info msg 53: bytes 246 from <me@domain> qp 20372 uid 666 |
|
53 qmail: starting delivery 4: msg 53 to remote me@wherever |
|
54 qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 1/20 |
|
55 qmail: delivery 4: success: 1.2.3.4_accepted_message./... |
|
56 qmail: status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 |
|
57 qmail: end msg 53 |
|
58 There will be a pause between ``starting delivery'' and ``success''; |
|
59 SMTP is slow. Check that the message is in your mailbox on the other |
|
60 machine. |
|
61 |
|
62 6. Local-postmaster test: Send mail to postmaster, any capitalization. |
|
63 % echo to: POSTmaster | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject |
|
64 Look for the message in the alias mailbox, normally ~alias/Mailbox. |
|
65 |
|
66 7. Double-bounce test: Send a message with a completely bad envelope. |
|
67 % /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject -f nonexistent |
|
68 To: unknownuser |
|
69 Subject: testing |
|
70 |
|
71 This is a test. This is only a test. |
|
72 % |
|
73 (Use end-of-file, not dot, to end the message.) Look for the double |
|
74 bounce in the alias mailbox. |
|
75 |
|
76 8. Group membership test: |
|
77 % cat > ~me/.qmail-groups |
|
78 |groups >> MYGROUPS; exit 0 |
|
79 % /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject me-groups < /dev/null |
|
80 % cat ~me/MYGROUPS |
|
81 MYGROUPS will show your normal gid and nothing else. (Under Solaris, |
|
82 make sure to use /usr/ucb/groups; /usr/bin/groups is broken.) |
