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. Firstly, check MTA without fml on ahodori.fml.org. Prepare one personal user address such as rudo@fml.org. Usually, just create a user named as "rudo". # useradd rudo Check you can send a mail to rudo@fml.org on ahodori.fml.org and rudo receives the mail. % echo test |Mail rudo@fml.org If it not works, check MTA configuration. See /var/log/maillog et.al to track errors. Secondary, verify mail delivery over network. Send a mail to rudo@fml.org from other host (not ahodori.fml.org). If rudo receives the mail, MTA is o.k. If both work well, MTA configuration must be ok. 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 on the host and from other host (not ahodori.fml.org). Verify the header of this test mail should be "From: rudo@fml.org" since &fml8; checks the From: header field. If something not work well, check the following points: check the mail server log (e.g. /var/log/maillog) check the fml log (e.g. /var/spool/m/elena/log) fml can pass the message to MTA ? (e.g. /var/spool/m/elena/log) MTA succeeds to deliver it? (e.g. /var/log/maillog) *** 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.$DATE.$SEQUENCE. Please remove it since this is a test to avoid the duplication in the future. % rm -fr /var/spool/ml/@test.$DATE.*
