The masqmail package introduced new or modified debconf templates. This is the perfect moment for a review to help the package maintainer following the general suggested writing style and track down typos and errors in the use of English language. If someone wants to pick up this review, please answer to this mail, in the mailing list, with an [ITR] (Intent To Review) label. The templates file is attached. To propose the file you reviewed for peer review, please send a [RFR] (Request For Review) mail with the reviewed file attached...then a few days later, when no more contributions come, a summary mail with a [LCFC] (Last Chance For Comments) label. Finally, after no more comments coming to the LCFC mail, you can send the reviewed templates file as a bug report against the package. Then, please notify the list with a last mail using a [BTS] label with the bug number. Helping the package maintainer to deal with induced translation updates at that moment will be nice. If you're not comfortable with that part of the process, please hand it off to a translator. --
Template: masqmail/manage_config_with_debconf
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Manage masqmail.conf using debconf?
The /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf file can be handled automatically
by debconf, or manually by you.
.
Note that only specific, marked sections of the configuration file will be
handled by debconf if you select this option; if those markers are absent,
you will have to update the file manually, or move or delete the file.
Template: masqmail/move_existing_nondebconf_config
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Replace existing /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf file?
The existing /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf file currently on the system does
not contain a marked section for debconf to write its data.
.
If you select this option, the existing configuration
file will be backed up to /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf.debconf-backup and a
new file written to /etc/masqmail/masqmail.conf. If you do not select this
option, the existing configuration file will not be managed by debconf,
and no further questions about masqmail configuration will be
asked.
Template: masqmail/host_name
Type: string
Default:
_Description: Masqmail host name:
Please enter the name used by masqmail to identify itself to others.
This is most likely your hostname. It is used in its SMTP greeting
banner, for expanding unqualified addresses, the Message ID and so on.
Template: masqmail/local_hosts
Type: string
_Description: Hosts considered local:
Please enter a list of hosts, separated with semicolons (;), which are
considered 'local', ie. mail to these hosts will be delivered to a
mailbox (or Maildir or MDA) on this host.
.
You will most likely insert 'localhost', your hostname in its fully
qualified form and just the simple hostname here.
.
You can also use wildcard expressions like '*' and '?'.
Template: masqmail/local_nets
Type: string
_Description: Nets considered local:
Please enter a list of hosts, separated with semicolons (;), which are
on your local network, ie. they are always reachable, without a
dialup connection. Mail to these hosts will be delivered immediately,
without checking for the online status.
.
You can use wildcard expressions like '*' and '?', eg. *.yournet.local
.
If you have only one box, you can leave this empty. If you do not want
to use masqmail as an offline MTA, and the whole internet or another mail
server which accepts outgoing mail is at all times
reachable to you, just insert '*'.
Template: masqmail/listen_addresses
Type: string
Default: localhost:25
_Description: Interfaces for incoming connections:
Masqmail, for security reasons, does not listen an all network
interfaces by default. If there are no other hosts connected to your
host, just leave the default 'localhost:25' value. If there are other
hosts that may want to send SMTP messages to this host, add the
address of your network interface here, eg.:
localhost:25;192.168.1.2:25.
.
Of course you can also replace the '25' with another port number, however
this is unusual.
Template: masqmail/use_syslog
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Use syslogd for logs?
You can decide whether masqmail should log via syslog or not. If not,
logs will be written to /var/log/masqmail/masqmail.log.
Template: masqmail/online_detect
Type: select
__Choices: file, pipe
Default: file
_Description: Online detection method:
Masqmail has different methods to determine whether it is online or not,
these are 'file','pipe'.
.
For 'file', masqmail checks for the existence of a file, and, if it
exists, reads from it the name of the connection.
.
For 'pipe', masqmail calls a program or script, which outputs the name
if online or nothing if not. You can use eg. the program guessnet for this.
Template: masqmail/online_file
Type: string
Default: /var/run/masqmail-route
_Description: File used to determine the online status:
Template: masqmail/online_pipe
Type: string
Default:
_Description: Name of the program used to determine the online status:
Please choose the program to use to determine the online
status. Please note that, when this program is called, masqmail has
the user id 'mail'.
Template: masqmail/mbox_default
Type: select
Choices: mbox, mda, maildir
Default: mbox
_Description: Local delivery style:
Local mail can be delivered to a mailbox, to an MDA (eg. procmail)
or to a qmail style Maildir in the users home dir.
.
You can select the default style here. You can configure this also
on a per-user basis with the options mbox_users, mda_users and
maildir_users.
Template: masqmail/mda
Type: string
Default: /usr/bin/procmail -Y -d ${rcpt_local}
_Description: MDA command line (including options):
Please choose the path to the mail delivery agent (MDA), including
its arguments. You can use substitution values here,
eg. ${rcpt_local} for the user name.
.
For other substitutions please see the man page.
.
This question is also asked if you did not set mbox_default to mda,
since you can use mda for a set of users specially.
Template: masqmail/alias_local_caseless
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Should alias expansion regard case?
Masqmail uses the file /etc/aliases to redirect local addresses.
The search for a match in /etc/aliases can be regarding upper/lower
case or insensitive to case.
Template: masqmail/init_smtp_daemon
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Start SMTP listening daemon?
Please choose whether you want masqmail to start as an SMTP listening
daemon. You will need this if:
- there are other hosts in your local network that may want to send
mail via this host
- you use a mail client that sends mail via SMTP (netscape,
mozilla are examples)
Template: masqmail/init_queue_daemon
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Start SMTP queue running daemon?
Please choose this option if you want masqmail to start as a queue
running daemon. You're very likely to need this. It is used for mail
that cannot delivered immediately, either because of delivery
failures or because you were not online on the first attempt to send
a mail.
Template: masqmail/queue_daemon_ival
Type: string
Default: -q10m
_Description: Interval for the queue running daemon:
Please choose the interval for the queue running daemon. -q10m means
flush the queue every 10 minutes.
.
The format is -q, followed by an numeric value and one of the letters s,m,h,d,w for
seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively.
.
Reasonable values are between 5 minutes (-q5m) and 2 hours (-q2h).
Template: masqmail/init_fetch_daemon
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Start POP3 fetch daemon?
Please choose this option if you want masqmail to start as a fetch
daemon. If you do so, masqmail will try to fetch mail from POP3
servers that you configure in regular intervals, detecting the online
status first.
.
No matter what you choose here, you can later select whether you want to fetch
mail the moment you get online.
Template: masqmail/fetch_daemon_ival
Type: string
Default: -go5m
_Description: Interval for the fetch daemon:
Please choose the interval for the fetch daemon.
.
The format is -go, followed by an numeric value and one of the letters s,m,h,d,w for
seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks respectively.

Reasonable values are between 2 minutes (-go2m) and 2 hours (-go2h).
Template: masqmail/ipup_runqueue
Type: boolean
Default: true
_Description: Flush mail queue when you get online?
Please choose whether you want masqmail to immediately flush its mail
queue as soon as you go online. This will be done in the ip-up script
in /etc/ppp/ip-up or in /etc/network/if-up.d/.
Template: masqmail/ipup_fetch
Type: boolean
Default: false
_Description: Fetch mail when you get online?
Please choose whether you want masqmail to immediately fetch mail
from POP3 servers as soon as you go online. This will be done in the
ip-up script in /etc/ppp/ip-up or in /etc/network/if-up.d/.
Template: masqmail/ifup_ifaces
Type: string
Default: all
_Description: List of interfaces used for masqmail online detection:
Please choose a list of network interfaces which will trigger queue
runs and/or fetching mails when going up. The list will be used in
the /etc/ppp/ip-up and /etc/network/if-up.d/ scripts, when the
interface goes up.
.
A reasonable choice is eg. 'ppp0' for a desktop at home, or 'ppp0 eth0' for
a notebook.
.
Set to 'all' for all interfaces, or 'none' for no interfaces.

Description: A mailer for hosts without permanent internet connection
MasqMail is an MTA (mail transport agent) and POP3 client for hosts
that don't have a permanent internet connection, eg. a home network
or a single host at home and notebooks. It has special support for
connections to different ISPs.
.
In these cases, MasqMail is a slim replacement for full-blown MTAs
such as sendmail, exim, qmail or postfix. The POP3 client can be
a small replacement for other full-featured tools like fetchmail.
