Echolot for Debian
------------------

Make sure mail to the Echolot pinger reaches ~echolot/mail/

In /usr/share/doc/mixmaster/examples you can find examples for use with
procmail. You can of course use any other means to deliver to the Maildir
~echolot/mail/ too.



Make sure your MTA supports user defined mailboxes. so that
my_localpart+anything@my_domain also reaches Echolot.
             ^^^^^^^^^
If you use another character instead of + to indicate a user defined
extension set recipient_delimiter accordingly in echolot.conf.

postfix: add �recipient_delimiter = +� to main.cf.


To send commands to pingd it's best to use the /etc/init.d/echolot script.
It takes care that pingd is only called as the correct user. See pingd(1) for a
list of commands and their description.
