1 You can do several tests of messages entering the qmail system:
3 1. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace ``me''
4 with your username and ``domain'' with your host's name.
7 Connected to 127.0.0.1.
8 Escape character is '^]'.
22 250 ok 812345679 qp 12345
25 Connection closed by foreign host.
27 Look for the message in your mailbox. (Note for programmers: Most
28 SMTP servers need more text after MAIL and RCPT. See RFC 821.)
30 2. Remote-local test: Send yourself some mail from another machine.
31 Look for the message in your mailbox.
33 3. Remote-error test: Send some mail from another machine to
34 nonexistent@domain. Look for a bounce message in the remote mailbox.
36 4. UA test: Try sending mail, first to a local account, then to a
37 remote account, with your normal user agent.
39 5. Remote-postmaster test: Send mail from another machine to
40 PoStMaStEr@domain. Look for the message in the alias mailbox,
41 normally ~alias/Mailbox.
