Nullmailer localqueue patch



This patch allows the MTA to send all local mail to a local mbox instead of the being sent through the network to an administration email (adminaddr).


I originally started using nullmailer to send through my SSH tunnel to my dial-up ISP as I didn't trust (and still don't) the shared cable networks.  At that time I couldn't find any easy way to send to localhost:<port>, so nullmailer was perfect because I could easily modify the source and change my portnumber (and there was no restrictions on  sending to localhost like other MTA's).  The only problem with this was that it was sending things like my tripwire reports through the mail and I would occasionally have to pull my ISP's webmail when I was working remotely.

Hence the patch sends all localhost, and defaulthost mail to the mbox that you configured.

When I started working on this I was a little rusty on my c++, so use at your own risk.

2005-03-27 - Updated for 1.00 release.

2003-11-21 - UpDated the .spec file and noticed what might be a bug. Fedora's stupid diskcheck python script emails "From: Disk Usage Monitor <root>" and it appears in my mailbox as Disk@localhost, Usage@localhost,etc. Not sure if that is proper, or if its a bug in lq, or nullmailer. Will look into it when I have time.
