============
You want
--------
- submit mail on stdin by calling masqmail on the commandline
- submit mail with SMTP from the local machine
- let masqmail deliver mail locally to the system mailboxes /var/mail/*
You have luck, because this is what masqmail does by default.
Set up
------
Follow the description in INSTALL.
Most times it's simply:
./configure
Configuration
-------------
You just need a minimal config file, having one line:
host_name = "foo.example.org"
(Substitute a real value, of course.)
Starting the daemon
-------------------
Listening for SMTP connections on a port requires masqmail to run as
daemon. You probably want to start masqmail as daemon each time the
system comes up. How you have to do that is system dependent.
/etc/rc.local is a good try to add the daemon call, because this file
seems to be frequently available.
/usr/local/sbin/masqmail -bd -q10m
This starts masqmail in daemon mode and does a queue run every ten
minutes.
Check the setup
---------------
Ensure you have the sendmail links correct:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/lib/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2010-03-06 13:50 /usr/sbin/sendmail -> /usr/local/sbin/masqmail*
Send a mail to yourself:
$ echo "some text" | mail `whoami`
Check if the mail was delivered (then delete it and quit):
$ mail
Mail version 8.1.2 01/15/2001. Type ? for help.

In case of problems
-------------------
Have a look at the log file: /var/log/masqmail/masqmail.log
Set the debug level in masqmail.conf, restart the daemon, redo the
test, and look at the debug file: /var/log/masqmail/debug.log
Ask on the mailing list: <masqmail@marmaro.de>
