+You can do several tests of messages entering the qmail system:
+
+1. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace ``me''
+   with your username and ``domain'' with your host's name.
+       % telnet 127.0.0.1 25
+       Trying 127.0.0.1...
+       Connected to 127.0.0.1.
+       Escape character is '^]'.
+       220 domain ESMTP
+       helo dude
+       250 domain
+       mail <me@domain>
+       250 ok
+       rcpt <me@domain>
+       250 ok
+       data
+       354 go ahead
+       Subject: testing
+       
+       This is a test.
+       .
+       250 ok 812345679 qp 12345

+       Connection closed by foreign host.
+       %
+   Look for the message in your mailbox. (Note for programmers: Most
+   SMTP servers need more text after MAIL and RCPT. See RFC 821.)
+
+2. Remote-local test: Send yourself some mail from another machine.
+   Look for the message in your mailbox.
+
+3. Remote-error test: Send some mail from another machine to
+   nonexistent@domain. Look for a bounce message in the remote mailbox.
+
+4. UA test: Try sending mail, first to a local account, then to a
+   remote account, with your normal user agent.
+
+5. Remote-postmaster test: Send mail from another machine to
+   PoStMaStEr@domain. Look for the message in the alias mailbox,
+   normally ~alias/Mailbox.
