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.
