TEST.receive.md (1233B)

      1 You can do several tests of messages entering the qmail system:
      2 
      3 1. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace "me"
      4    with your username and "domain" with your host's name.
      5 
      6    ```
      7    % telnet 127.0.0.1 25
      8    Trying 127.0.0.1...
      9    Connected to 127.0.0.1.
     10    Escape character is '^]'.
     11    220 domain ESMTP
     12    helo dude
     13    250 domain
     14    mail <me@domain>
     15    250 ok
     16    rcpt <me@domain>
     17    250 ok

     31    Look for the message in your mailbox. (Note for programmers: Most
     32    SMTP servers need more text after MAIL and RCPT. See RFC 821.)
     33 
     34 2. Remote-local test: Send yourself some mail from another machine.
     35    Look for the message in your mailbox.
     36 
     37 3. Remote-error test: Send some mail from another machine to
     38    nonexistent@domain. Look for a bounce message in the remote mailbox.
     39 
     40 4. UA test: Try sending mail, first to a local account, then to a
     41    remote account, with your normal user agent.
     42 
     43 5. Remote-postmaster test: Send mail from another machine to
     44    PoStMaStEr@domain. Look for the message in the alias mailbox,
     45    normally ~alias/Mailbox.
