NAME

       smtpprox - trivial transparent SMTP proxy

SYNOPSIS

       smtpprox [options] listen.addr:port talk.addr:port

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the smtpprox command.

       smtpprox is a trivial transparent SMTP proxy, an SMTP server and client combination. It uses its own SMTP
       server and client modules which are designed to expose every step of the protocol dialogue to the calling
       program,  which  provides  for  the  greatest flexibility in hooking in envelope and content controls and
       scanning.

OPTIONS

OPTIONS

       --children=N
              The number of child processes to maintain in  the  service  pool.   Each  child  terminates  after
              servicing a random number of messages between minperchild and maxperchild.
              [default 16]

       --minperchild=N
              Minimum number of messages serviced by a child process.
              [default 100]

       --maxperchild=N
              Maximum number of messages serviced by a child process.
              [default 200]

       --debugtrace=filename_prefix
              If debugtrace is specified, the prefix will have the PID appended to it for a separate logfile for
              each child, which will capture all the SMTP dialogues that child services. It looks like a snooper
              on the client side of the proxy.
