set up MTA properly before test of fml. In this chapter, &fmldevel; and MTA works on ahodori.fml.org, which is called as the mail server. check MTA without fml on ahodori.fml.org. FIrstly, prepare one personal user address such as rudo@fml.org. Usually, just create a user named as "rudo". # useradd rudo You should verify SMTP over network. Send a mail to rudo@fml.org from other host (not ahodori.fml.org). If rudo receives the mail, o.k. Secondly check the local delivery. send a mail to rudo@fml.org on ahodori.fml.org. % echo test |Mail rudo@fml.org Create elena ML (elena@fml.org) and subscribe rudo@fml.org to elena ML. % su fml % makefml newml elena % makefml add elena rudo@fml.org Send a test mail to elena@fml.org from other host (not ahodori.fml.org). Verify the header of this test mail should be "From: rudo@fml.org". If not works well, check the following: check the mail server log (e.g. /var/log/maillog) check the fml log (e.g. /var/spool/m/elena/log) fml pass the message to MTA ? MTA succeeds to deliver it? not yet implemented. It is easy to re-create this mailing list (e.g. test ML). % su fml % makefml rmml test % makefml newml test The removed ML home is left as /var/spool/ml/@test. Please remove it since this is a test to avoid the duplication in the future. % rm -fr /var/spool/ml/@test
