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

stored in the state subdirectory of this directory, in
subdirectories named after the circuit name. Default:
