MILTER-TEST-CLIENT(1) milter manager's manual MILTER-TEST-CLIENT(1)NAMEmilter-test-client - milter side milter protocol implemented program
SYNOPSISmilter-test-client [option ...]
DESCRIPTIONmilter-test-client is a milter that just shows received data from MTA.
It also shows macros received from MTA, it can be used for confirming
MTA's milter configuration.
Postfix's source archive includes similar tool. It's src/mil‐
ter/test-milter.c. It seems that it's used for testing Postfix's milter
implementation. But test-milter doesn't show macros. If you have a mil‐
ter that doesn't work as you expect and uses macro, milter-test-client
is useful tool for looking into the problems.
Options--help Shows available options and exits.
--connection-spec=SPEC
Specifies a socket that accepts connections from MTA. SPEC
should be formatted as one of the followings:
· unix:PATH
· inet:PORT
· inet:PORT@HOST
· inet:PORT@[ADDRESS]
· inet6:POST
· inet6:PORT@HOST
· inet6:PORT@[ADDRESS]
Examples:
· unix:/tmp/milter-test-client.sock
· inet:10025
· inet:10025@localhost
· inet:10025@[127.0.0.1]
· inet6:10025
· inet6:10025@localhost
· inet6:10025@[::1]
--log-level=LEVEL
Specifies log output items. You can specify multiple items by
separating items with "|" like "error|warning|message".
See Loglist-Level
for available levels.
--log-path=PATH
Specifies log output path. If you don't specify this option, log
output is the standard output. You can use "-" to output to the
standard output.
--verbose
Logs verbosely.
"--log-level=all" option has the same effect.
--syslog
Logs Syslog too.
--no-report-request
Doesn't show any information received from MTA.
--report-memory-profile
Reports memory usage each milter session finished.
When MILTER_MEMORY_PROFILE environment variable is set to 'yes',
details are reported.
Example:
% MILTER_MEMORY_PROFILE=yes milter-test-client-s inet:10025
--daemon
Runs as daemon process.
--user=USER
Runs as USER's process. root privilege is needed.
--group=GROUP
Runs as GROUP's process. root privilege is needed.
--unix-socket-group=GROUP
Changes UNIX domain socket group to GROUP when "unix:PATH" for‐
mat SPEC is used.
--n-workers=N_WORKERS
Runs N_WORKERS
processes to process mails. Available value is between 0 and
1000. If it is 0, no worker processes will be used.
NOTE: This item is an experimental feature.
--event-loop-backend=BACKEND
Uses BACKEND
as event loop backend. Available values are glib
or libev
NOTE: For the sake of improving milter-manager performance per
process, event-driven model based architecture pattern is
choosed in this software. If this feature is implemented by
glib, it is expressed as a callback. Note that glib's callback
registration upper limit makes the limitation of the number of
communications. This limitations exist against glib backend
only.
--packet-buffer-size=SIZE
Uses SIZE
as send packets buffer size on end-of-message. Buffered packets
are sent when buffer size is rather than SIZE
bytes. Buffering is disabled when SIZE
is 0.
The default is 0KB. It means packet buffering is disabled by
default.
--version
Shows version and exits.
EXIT STATUS
The exit status is 0 if milter starts to listen and non 0 otherwise.
milter-test-client can't start to listen when connection spec is
invalid format or other connection specific problems. e.g. the port
number is already used, permission isn't granted for create UNIX domain
socket and so on.
EXAMPLE
The following example runs a milter which listens at 10025 port and
waits a connection from MTA.
% milter-test-client-s inet:10025
