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

Make sure mail to the Echolot pinger reaches /var/mail/echolot (or configure
echolot to read it from any other location).


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.
