Comment (by isis):
Additionally, because BridgeDB's SMTP server (the Twisted one) sits behind
a postfix instance, it is sometimes necessary to test it from behind a
mailserver. Here's an excerpt from a `bridgedb.conf` file explaining how
to configure BridgeDB, and also how to start an Exim listener, in order to
send emails which are forwarded through a mailserver to a test BridgeDB
instance:
{{{
# IP and port to listen on for email connections. Debugging only.
EMAIL_BIND_IP = "127.0.0.1"
EMAIL_PORT = 6725
# To test the email server's responses with Exim, do:
#
# Set an /etc/hosts entry for the domain name of the client email address.
For
# example, if your test emails (sent from ./scripts/telnet-an-email) are
# coming from 'alice@fubar', then set something like:
#
# 127.0.66.66 fubar
#
# in /etc/hosts. Next, start BridgeDB:
#
# shellA $ bridgedb -r run-directory
#
# In another shell, start exim listening on the local IP you set in
/etc/hosts:
#
# shellB $ emim -bh 127.0.66.66:2525
#
# where 2525 is whatever random port (this should be neither EMAIL_PORT
nor
# EMAIL_SMTP_PORT!). Then send the test email:
#
# shellB $ ./scripts/telnet-an-email
}}}
The [https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/attachment/ticket/5232
/telnet-an-email telnet-an-email is a crappy pexpect script which can be
found here].
