.SH DESCRIPTION
.B ezmlm-test
is run from the ezmlm build directory. It will test most of the functions
of most of the programs in ezmlm-idx>=0.313. The program prints status
and error messages to stdout. It requires that qmail runs on the host and that
mail delivery to a local user functions. By default, it runs as the
user ``eztest'' who should have read and execute permission to the files
in the build directory.

For testing with an SQL database (requires ezmlm-idx>=0.32; see
.BR -p ),
you need to have first created the tables in the database, e.g. using
.BR ezmlm-mktab .
A number of switches allow overriding the default connection information.

.B ezmlm-test
creates the list ``eztest-__tstlist@host''
in the directory ``~/__TSTDIR''. This directory and ``~/.qmail-__tstlist*''
will be overwritten/removed by the program. In addition,
the file ``~/__TSTDIR_err'' is created. In cases of error, it often contains
the error message form the failing program.

.B ezmlm-test
should complete without error.
As many invocations of the programs test several functions it is not easy
to determine what went wrong if
.B ezmlm-test
fails. Usually, ``~/__TSTDIR__err'' gives some leads, but then debugging
of the particular program is required. Usually, this involves recreating
the failing circumstances, including environment variables.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-d\fI sqldatabase
If SQL support is tested, use
.I sqldatabase
as the database, overriding the default ``ezmlm''. See
.BR \-p .
.TP
.B \-h\fI host
Connect to an SQL server on
.IR host ,
if an SQL database is used (see
.BR \-p ).
Default is empty, which for most database managers defaults to
localhost/unix socket. To specify a non-default port,
add ``:port'' to the host name.
.TP
.B \-l\fI sqluser
Connect as
.I sqluser
to the SQL server, if an SQL database is used (see
.BR \-p ).
By default, it is the same as the executing user as
specified by the
.B \-u
switch or the default ``eztest''.
.TP
.B \-n
Test assuming qmail>=1.02 and ezmlm-idx>=0.32. Normally, this is auto-detected.
This switch is for testing of
.B ezmlm-test
and unlikely to be generally useful.
.TP
.B \-o
Test assuming an old (<1.02) version of qmail which does not support
the DEFAULT environment variable. Normally, this is auto-detected, and
DEFAULT support is used if qmail>=1.02 and ezmlm-idx>=0.32. The ``old''
style works with all versions of qmail, but requires adjustments for
virtual domains. DEFAULT support makes these adjustments unnecessary.
.TP
.B \-p\fI sqlpassword
Test with SQL support, and use
.I sqlpassword
as the connection password. By default, local databases, rather than an
SQL database are used for testing. To use the SQL database with an
empty password, specify
.BR \-p\ '' .
.TP
.B \-s\fI section
Restart
.B ezmlm-test
from section
.IR section .
This can be used to resume execution if the 30 s given for mail delivery
was not sufficient for the test message to be delivered. ``9'' can be
used to clean up any files remaining after incomplete execution of
.BR ezmlm-test .
This option should not be needed.
.TP
.B \-t\fI sqltable
Use
.I sqltable
as the table root name for the SQL database tables, if an SQL database
is used (see
.BR \-p ).
Default is ``list''.
.TP
.B \-u\fI user
Execute
.B ezmlm-test
as
.IR user .
Default is ``eztest''. The program refuses to run, unless the effective
user name matches this user name.
.SH BUGS
On some systems, some of the tests give a broken pipe error. This is because
code needs to be added to the make_message function to capture error messages.
These errors can be safely ignored for now.
