+You can do several tests of messages entering the qmail system:
+
+1. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace ``me''
+ with your username and ``domain'' with your host's name.
+ % telnet 127.0.0.1 25
+ Trying 127.0.0.1...
+ Connected to 127.0.0.1.
+ Escape character is '^]'.
+ 220 domain ESMTP
+ helo dude
+ 250 domain
+ mail <me@domain>
+ 250 ok
+ rcpt <me@domain>
+ 250 ok
+ data
+ 354 go ahead
+ Subject: testing
+
+ This is a test.
+ .
+ 250 ok 812345679 qp 12345
+ quit
+ 221 domain
+ Connection closed by foreign host.
+ %
+ Look for the message in your mailbox. (Note for programmers: Most
+ SMTP servers need more text after MAIL and RCPT. See RFC 821.)
+
+2. Remote-local test: Send yourself some mail from another machine.
+ Look for the message in your mailbox.
+
+3. Remote-error test: Send some mail from another machine to
+ nonexistent@domain. Look for a bounce message in the remote mailbox.
+
+4. UA test: Try sending mail, first to a local account, then to a
+ remote account, with your normal user agent.
+
+5. Remote-postmaster test: Send mail from another machine to
+ PoStMaStEr@domain. Look for the message in the alias mailbox,
+ normally ~alias/Mailbox.
