NAME¶
mailping-store - store email from stdin to a mailping incoming maildirSYNOPSIS¶
mailping-store
DESCRIPTION¶
mailping-store reads an email from standard input and writes it into a maildir chosen according to following logic:
1.If EXTENSION is not set, select
Maildir.
2.If EXTENSION is set, ensure its value is safe
to use, and select EXTENSION/incoming.
mailping-store is usually run from a .forward file, and thus the filenames above are relative to the home directory of the account in question.
Normal use¶
Normally, mailping-store is used to ease the setup of new circuits to probe from mailping-cron. This is done with a system account mailping using <mailping@ yourhost.example.com> as the from address, and <mailping+ circuitname@yourhost.example.com> (or some remote address aliased to that) as the to address. In fact, these are the default values for from and to, so you can just skip creating those configuration files. This allows adding new test circuits without any changes to the email configuration.FILES¶
/var/lib/mailping/state/circuit/incomingMaildir to store the email to.
/var/lib/mailping/state/Maildir/
Maildir to store the email to, if no extension was
given.
ENVIRONMENT¶
MAILPING_STATEDIROverride the location of the state directory. Circuit
states are stored in the state subdirectory of this directory, in
subdirectories named after the circuit name. Default:
/var/lib/mailping
EXTENSION
Name of the current circuit to store the mail for.
