-(3) The login under which you run the tests must be in the exim group so that
- it has access to logs, spool files, etc. The login should not be one of the
- names "userx", "usery", "userz", or a few other simple ones such as "abcd"
- and "xyz" and single letters that are used in the tests. The test suite
- expects the login to have a gecos name; I think it will now run if the
- gecos field is empty but there may be anomalies.
+(3) The login under which you run the tests must have the exim group as a
+ secondary so that it has access to logs, spool files, etc. However, it
+ should have a different primary group (eg. "users" vs. "eximgroup"). The
+ login should not be one of the names "userx", "usery", "userz", or a few
+ other simple ones such as "abcd" and "xyz" and single letters that are used
+ in the tests. The test suite expects the login to have a gecos name; I think
+ it will now run if the gecos field is empty but there may be anomalies.
The login must not contain a dash or an equal sign. (Otherwise some tests
about local_from_{suffix,prefix} will fail.)
configs can be placed into it. A suitable file location is .../exim/test/trusted_configs
with content .../exim/test/test-config [fill out the ... to make full
paths]. This file should be owner/group matching CONFIGURE_OWNER/GROUP,
- or root/root. The config files in .../exim/test/confs/ should be owner/group the same.
- DISABLE_D_OPTION must not be used. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is used, it
+ or root/root, and it has to be accessible for the login, under which
+ you run the tests. The config files in .../exim/test/confs/ should be
+ owner/group the same. DISABLE_D_OPTION must not be used. If ALT_CONFIG_PREFIX is used, it
must contain the directory of the test-suite. WHITELIST_D_MACROS should contain:

(10) Exim must *not* be built with USE_READLINE, as the test-suite's automation
assumes the simpler I/O model.
-d causes the server to output debugging information
-t <sec> sets a timeout (default 5) for when the server is
- awaiting an incoming connection
+ awaiting an incoming connection. If negative, the
+ absolute value is used and a timeout results in a
+ nonfailure exit code
-noipv4 causes the server not to set up an IPv4 socket
Here is a simple example:
client 127.0.0.1 PORT_D
- ??? 250
+ ??? 220
EHLO xxx
??? 250-
??? 250
