[comp.mail.mh] Debugging .maildelivery

victor@watson.ibm.com (Victor Miller) (04/03/91)

Are there any suggestions as to how to debug .maildelivery files?
I've tried adding the -debug flag to in invocation of slocal in my
.forward file, but nothing comes out (not even on the console).

You have to be watching the smtp transfer to see the debugging output,
i.e. invoke mail with the '-v' flag, or send with the '-watch' or
'-verbose' flag.  Either way, you'll see a lot more debugging info
than you'd possibly want.

victor,

  put the input message in a file by itself and invoke slocal
  manually.  thus (in csh and sh):

	% cat file | slocal -debug -verbose |& more
		or
	$ cat file | slocal -debug -verbose 2>&1 | more

  this should get you on your way.
