mailping-store(1)
NAME
mailping-store - store email from stdin to a mailping incoming maildir
SYNOPSIS
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/incoming
- Maildir to store the email to.
- /var/lib/mailping/state/Maildir/ Maildir to store the email to, if no extension was given.
ENVIRONMENT
- MAILPING_STATEDIR
- Override 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.
