# mailloop.monitor - sends email to mailboxes that are expected to send
# the mail back to the sender. Probably not hard to do with procmail,
etc.
# I've only used a reflector agent for Lotus Notes. Instead of "hosts" in
# a hostgroup, use email addresses you want to send bounce tests to. The
# code still refers to these as hosts.
#
# You can use as many addresses as you'd like, but you'll need to use a
# unique from address for each hostgroup that calls this monitor, because
# it eats all the mail this running copy of the monitor didn't send.
# Otherwise, previously delayed mail might lay around forever.
#
# The monitor then polls a POP3 account for the mail it sent. Don't use
# that mailbox for anything else, the monitor will delete all your mail!
# I'm not kidding, I didn't say "might", it *will*.
#
# This monitor assumes the local sendmail knows how to get the mail to
# the the first relay in the loop you're testing. It also assumes that
# the last host knows to deliver mail sent to the configured from
# address so that it shows up in the POP server we poll.
#
# Takes 5 options:
# -d Debug Mode. Not really compatible with normal mon scheduling,
# because it doesn't log to syslog or anything, just print to STDOUT.
# You'll have to call the monitor by hand to use this option.
# Mostly helpful to debug your POP/SMTP setup.
#
# -f Set the from address, this option will also set the POP user to
# all the bits before the '@'. So, don't do any wild aliasing...
#
# -p Set the POP password. Defaults to null password
#
# -s Set the POP server. Defaults to localhost.
#
# -t Standard monitor timeout option.
