Added more information to the README file

Updated the architecture scheme so it fits the renaming of the project
to mailjam

     21
     22Mailjam has been designed following a **multi-component structure**. There is
     23**a daemon** that manage the mailing lists and members information in a storage
     24backend and there are **different kinds of clients** (currently, three of them)
     25that **interact with the daemon using a XMLRPC link**.

     325
     326server
     327++++++
     328
     329This section contains the configuration parameters that tell the MTA client
     330where to connect when trying to interact with the
     331:ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon`.
     332
     333These are all the available parameters in this section:

     337address
     338*******
     339
     340Default: ``localhost``
     341
     342The address where the daemon is listening for XMLRPC requests. This is
     343the address to where the client will try to connect to.
     344
     345.. _configuration_mta_client_server_port:
     346
     347port
     348****
     349
     350Default: ``9876``
     351
     352The port where the daemon accepts incoming XMLRPC requests. This is the

     363based on the values of the :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_address`
     364and :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_port` parameters.
     365
     366.. note::
     367
     368   The default configuration file contains a dynamic setting for this
     369   parameter::
     370
     371     uri = http://%(address)s:%(port)s
     372
     373   That means that the parameter will inherit the values from the
     374   :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_address`
     375   and :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_port` parameters.
     376

     388   that is really used for establishing new connections** so be aware that if
     389   you remove the references to the
     390   :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_address` and
     391   :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_port` parameters, the values you have
     392   provided for those parameters will be ignored.

     405.. warning::
     406
     407   In order to enable SSL support in the client, you have to be sure the
     408   :ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon` supports SSL too (check the
     409   :ref:`configuration_daemon_xmlrpc_ssl` parameter in the

    117 TBW
     161In order to setup Mailjam, you will have to create the needed
     162:doc:`configuration files <configuration>`. Each component has its own
     163configuration file:
     164
     165- The :ref:`Mailjam daemon <overview_mailjam_daemon>` configuration file is
     166  :ref:`mailjam.conf <configuration_daemon>`
     167
     168- The :ref:`Mailjam MTA client <overview_mailjam_mta_client>` configuration
     169  file is :ref:`mailjam-mta.conf <configuration_mta_client>`
     170
     171- The :ref:`Mailjam CLI client <overview_mailjam_cli_client>` configuration
     172  file is :ref:`mailjam-cli.conf <configuration_cli_client>`
     173
     174Refer to each configuration file documentation to learn more about the different
     175settings you can customize.
     176
     177Each component will search for its configuration file in a list of predefined
     178locations, but you can override that behaviour using the *-c* parameter when
     179starting the component.
     180
     181.. note::
     182
     183   Mailjam will search for the config files, in order, through the following
     184   paths:
     185
     186   1. /etc/mailjam
     187
     188   2. /etc
     189
     190   3. /usr/local/etc/mailjam
     191
     192   4. /usr/local/etc
     193
     194   5. the *conf* directory within the sources (or the installed *egg* [4]_)
     195
     196For example, you can start the :ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon` passing
     197*/var/db/mailjam/mailjam.conf* as its configuration file::
     198
     199  mailjam-server -c /var/db/mailjam/mailjam.conf
     200
     201.. seealso::
     202
     203   :doc:`running` contains more information about how to run the different
     204   components.
     205
     206If you have installed Mailjam using pip_, easy_install_ or even from sources,
     207the setup process should have taken care of the configuration files, adding
     208a copy of the default files included in the sources to the default
     209destination.
     210
     211.. warning::
     212
     213   The default destination will be different based on your operating system.
     214   For example, in most linux servers it will copy the files to */etc/mailjam*,
     215   while in BSD servers it will copy the files to */usr/local/etc/mailjam*.

    122225---------------
    123226
    124 TBW
     227In order to run a full Mailjam environment, you will have to start the different
     228components separately:
     229
     2301. :ref:`Start the daemon <running_daemon>`
     231
     2322. :ref:`Run the cli client and manage your mailing lists <running_cli_client>`
     233
     2343. :ref:`Add as much MTA clients as you need to your mail server<running_mta_client>`
     235
     236The daemon will have to be running all the time (it is the component responsible
     237for providing information to the clients). You will need the CLI client to add,
     238edit or delete mailing lists and each MTA client will be responsible to handle
     239incoming emails for each mailing list.

     246Just in case you were wondering, **yes**, Mailjam code has some tests you can
     247run to check everything is ok and that the software should run smoothly on your
     248server(s).
     249
     250To run the tests, simply get a copy of the sources from our public repository::
     251
     252  hg clone https://bitbucket.org/codigo23/mailjam mailjam-repo

    22===============
    33
     4In order to run Mailjam, you have to run the different components, depending on
     5what you want to do. Basically, you will need to run a server
     6(:ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon`) all the time, then you will need one
     7:ref:`overview_mailjam_mta_client` per mailing list.
     8
     9Ocasionally, you will need to add or delete a mailing list, or edit its
     10information, members list, etc. To do that, you will have to run a Mailjam
     11client (either the :ref:`CLI client <overview_mailjam_cli_client>` or the
     12:ref:`Web client <overview_mailjam_web_client>`).

     163
     164Explained configuration (you really want to know what's happening here)
     165+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     166
     167When new messages arrive at your mail server for your mailing list address
     168(let's use the example address *list@mydomain.com*) one of the steps in the
     169process that checks the message, it's origin, destination, contents, etc is
     170the step where the mail server checks its internal *aliases* database, that is,
     171a list of *special* addresses that, instead of being *real* addresses, they are
     172related to some other addresses in some way.
     173
     174Most MTAs out there support one very *convenient* feature that is to *pipe* the
     175contents of the message (headers and body) to a given shell command. That means
     176that the all the received data will be sent to an external command for it to
     177process such data.
     178
     179**Here is where mailjam-mta comes in**.
     180
     181What you have to do is just tell your mail server that all messages with
     182destination *list@mydomain.com* (to keep using the same example address) will be
     183*piped* to mailman-mta. The Mailjam MTA client will then know what to do with
     184the message, performing some checks and re-sending it to the proper destinations
     185(the members/suscriptors of the given mailing list).
     186
     187So, first thing you have to find out is **where is your aliases file?**.
     188
     189In unix-like systems, like the different Linux distributions or the different
     190BSD flavours, that file is */etc/mail/aliases* or */etc/aliases* (usually one is
     191a simbolic link to the other).
     192
     193.. note::
     194
     195   Usually the aliases file contains some lines like::
     196
     197     MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
     198     postmaster: root
     199
     200Once you've found out where the file is, edit it and add this line to the bottom
     201of the file::
     202
     203  list@mydomain.com: "|/usr/local/bin/mailjam-mta -a list@mydomain.com -i -"
     204
     205.. warning::
     206   
     207   replace *list@mydomain.com* with the real address of your mailing list
     208
     209.. warning::
     210
     211   replace */usr/local/bin/mailjam-mta* with the real path to your mailjam-mta
     212   installation
     213
     214There you are telling your mail server that any message coming **to**
     215*list@mydomain.com* will be passed to the mailjam-mta command, passing some
     216parameters to it:
     217
     218- **-a list@mydomain.com** tells mailjam-mta that the message is actually for
     219  that mailing list. The MTA client will then use that value to check (against
     220  the mailjam daemon) if it is a valid mailing list.
     221
     222- **-i -** tells mailjam-mta that the message will be *piped* directly. This is
     223  important, as mailjam-mta can read the messages from files, but in this case
     224  the mail server will *pipe* the data directly to mailjam-mta.
     225
     226Once you've added that line to your *aliases* file, you have to rebuild your
     227*aliases* database::
     228
     229  newaliases
     230
     231.. warning::
     232

     306
     307The MTA client will use the provided value to do some checks on the daemon,
     308retrieving all the needed data to perform its tasks.
     309

     324to the mailing list. That could be a local file (to be readed from disk) or
     325a stream of data coming directly from the standard input (*stdin*).
     326
     327For a regular configuration/setup, the second option is preferred, as the mail

     56<p>In order to run Mailjam, you have to run the different components, depending on
     57what you want to do. Basically, you will need to run a server

     59<a class="reference internal" href="overview.html#overview-mailjam-mta-client"><em>MTA client</em></a> per mailing list.</p>
     60<p>Ocasionally, you will need to add or delete a mailing list, or edit its
     61information, members list, etc. To do that, you will have to run a Mailjam
     62client (either the <a class="reference internal" href="overview.html#overview-mailjam-cli-client"><em>CLI client</em></a> or the

     216<p>When new messages arrive at your mail server for your mailing list address
     217(let&#8217;s use the example address <em>list&#64;mydomain.com</em>) one of the steps in the
     218process that checks the message, it&#8217;s origin, destination, contents, etc is
     219the step where the mail server checks its internal <em>aliases</em> database, that is,
     220a list of <em>special</em> addresses that, instead of being <em>real</em> addresses, they are
     221related to some other addresses in some way.</p>
     222<p>Most MTAs out there support one very <em>convenient</em> feature that is to <em>pipe</em> the
     223contents of the message (headers and body) to a given shell command. That means
     224that the all the received data will be sent to an external command for it to
     225process such data.</p>
     226<p><strong>Here is where mailjam-mta comes in</strong>.</p>
     227<p>What you have to do is just tell your mail server that all messages with
     228destination <em>list&#64;mydomain.com</em> (to keep using the same example address) will be
     229<em>piped</em> to mailman-mta. The Mailjam MTA client will then know what to do with
     230the message, performing some checks and re-sending it to the proper destinations
     231(the members/suscriptors of the given mailing list).</p>
     232<p>So, first thing you have to find out is <strong>where is your aliases file?</strong>.</p>
     233<p>In unix-like systems, like the different Linux distributions or the different
     234BSD flavours, that file is <em>/etc/mail/aliases</em> or <em>/etc/aliases</em> (usually one is
     235a simbolic link to the other).</p>
     236<div class="admonition note">
     237<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
     238<p>Usually the aliases file contains some lines like:</p>
     239<div class="last highlight-python"><pre>MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
     240postmaster: root</pre>
     241</div>
     242</div>
     243<p>Once you&#8217;ve found out where the file is, edit it and add this line to the bottom
     244of the file:</p>
     245<div class="highlight-python"><pre>list@mydomain.com: "|/usr/local/bin/mailjam-mta -a list@mydomain.com -i -"</pre>
     246</div>
     247<div class="admonition warning">
     248<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>

     254installation</p>
     255</div>
     256<p>There you are telling your mail server that any message coming <strong>to</strong>
     257<em>list&#64;mydomain.com</em> will be passed to the mailjam-mta command, passing some
     258parameters to it:</p>
     259<ul class="simple">
     260<li><strong>-a list&#64;mydomain.com</strong> tells mailjam-mta that the message is actually for
     261that mailing list. The MTA client will then use that value to check (against
     262the mailjam daemon) if it is a valid mailing list.</li>
     263<li><strong>-i -</strong> tells mailjam-mta that the message will be <em>piped</em> directly. This is
     264important, as mailjam-mta can read the messages from files, but in this case
     265the mail server will <em>pipe</em> the data directly to mailjam-mta.</li>
     266</ul>
     267<p>Once you&#8217;ve added that line to your <em>aliases</em> file, you have to rebuild your
     268<em>aliases</em> database:</p>

     328<p>This parameter is required (you have to provide it with a value in order to
     329run the mailjam-mta). It sets the address of the mailing list managed by this
     330MTA client instance.</p>
     331<p>The MTA client will use the provided value to do some checks on the daemon,
     332retrieving all the needed data to perform its tasks.</p>

     341<p>This parameter tells mailjam-mta from where it has to read the message sent
     342to the mailing list. That could be a local file (to be readed from disk) or
     343a stream of data coming directly from the standard input (<em>stdin</em>).</p>
     344<p>For a regular configuration/setup, the second option is preferred, as the mail
     345server will send the stream of data directly to mailjam-mta (as

     302
     303Mailjam MTA client configuration file - mailjam-mta.conf
     304--------------------------------------------------------
     305
     306This file contains all the parameters to configure the
     307:ref:`overview_mailjam_mta_client` properly. It contains ini-style [1]_
     308configuration parameters, separated in different *categories*.
     309
     310.. note::
     311
     312   The mailjam-mta.conf file will be installed in different locations
     313   depending on your setup. The usual locations are:
     314
     315   - */etc/mailjam/mailjam-mta.conf* - In most Linux systems (like archlinux,

     324.. _configuration_mta_client_server:
     325
     326server
     327++++++
     328
     329This section contains the configuration parameters that tell the MTA client
     330where to connect when trying to interact with the
     331:ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon`.
     332
     333These are all the available parameters in this section:
     334
     335.. _configuration_mta_client_server_address:
     336
     337address
     338*******
     339
     340Default: ``localhost``
     341
     342The address where the daemon is listening for XMLRPC requests. This is
     343the address to where the client will try to connect to.
     344
     345.. _configuration_mta_client_server_port:
     346
     347port
     348****
     349
     350Default: ``9876``
     351
     352The port where the daemon accepts incoming XMLRPC requests. This is the
     353port to where the client will try to connect to.
     354
     355.. _configuration_mta_client_server_uri:
     356
     357uri
     358***
     359
     360Default: http://localhost:9876
     361
     362This is the URI [4]_ to where the client will connect to. It is constructed
     363based on the values of the :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_address`
     364and :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_port` parameters.
     365
     366.. note::
     367
     368   The default configuration file contains a dynamic setting for this
     369   parameter::
     370
     371     uri = http://%(address)s:%(port)s
     372
     373   That means that the parameter will inherit the values from the
     374   :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_address`
     375   and :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_port` parameters.
     376
     377.. seealso::

     382
     383   http://www.doughellmann.com/PyMOTW/ConfigParser
     384
     385.. warning::
     386
     387   You can replace this with any URI you would like, **this is the parameter
     388   that is really used for establishing new connections** so be aware that if
     389   you remove the references to the
     390   :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_address` and
     391   :ref:`configuration_mta_client_server_port` parameters, the values you have
     392   provided for those parameters will be ignored.
     393
     394.. _configuration_mta_client_server_ssl:
     395
     396ssl
     397***
     398
     399Default: ``false`` (because ssl support hasn't been added yet)
     400
     401Enables/disables SSL [3]_ connections to the daemon. If ``false`` all the
     402traffic to/from the server will travel unencrypted. If ``true`` all the traffic
     403will travel encrypted.
     404
     405.. warning::
     406
     407   In order to enable SSL support in the client, you have to be sure the
     408   :ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon` supports SSL too (check the
     409   :ref:`configuration_daemon_xmlrpc_ssl` parameter in the
     410   :ref:`configuration_daemon_xmlrpc` section of the
     411   :ref:`daemon configuration file <configuration_daemon>`)

     413.. _configuration_mta_client_archive:
     414
     415archive
     416+++++++
     417
     418This section contains the configuration parameters that set where the files
     419generated by the client will be stored/saved.
     420
     421.. seealso::
     422
     423   For more information about the kind of files the client does generate,
     424   take a look at the
     425   :ref:`MTA client documentation <overview_mailjam_mta_client>`.
     426
     427These are all the available parameters in this section:
     428
     429.. _configurtion_mta_client_archive_persistent:
     430
     431persistent
     432**********
     433
     434Default: ``true``
     435
     436Enables/disables the local archive for the client. If ``true``, the client
     437will save a copy of every email sent to the list in an internal archive,
     438that could be checked/queried later. If ``false``, the emails will not be
     439kept on disk after being processed.

     561traffic to/from the server will travel unencrypted. If ``true`` all the traffic
     562will travel encrypted.
     563
     564.. warning::

    115159------------------
    116160
    117 TBW
     161In order to setup Mailjam, you will have to create the needed
     162:doc:`configuration files <configuration>`. Each component has its own
     163configuration file:
     164
     165- The :ref:`Mailjam daemon <overview_mailjam_daemon>` configuration file is
     166  :ref:`mailjam.conf <configuration_daemon>`
     167
     168- The :ref:`Mailjam MTA client <overview_mailjam_mta_client>` configuration
     169  file is :ref:`mailjam-mta.conf <configuration_mta_client>`
     170
     171- The :ref:`Mailjam CLI client <overview_mailjam_cli_client>` configuration
     172  file is :ref:`mailjam-cli.conf <configuration_cli_client>`
     173
     174Refer to each configuration file documentation to learn more about the different
     175settings you can customize.
     176
     177Each component will search for its configuration file in a list of predefined
     178locations, but you can override that behaviour using the *-c* parameter when
     179starting the component.
     180
     181.. note::
     182
     183   Mailjam will search for the config files, in order, through the following
     184   paths:
     185
     186   1. /etc/mailjam
     187
     188   2. /etc
     189
     190   3. /usr/local/etc/mailjam
     191
     192   4. /usr/local/etc
     193
     194   5. the *conf* directory within the sources (or the installed *egg* [4]_)
     195
     196For example, you can start the :ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon` passing
     197*/var/db/mailjam/mailjam.conf* as its configuration file::
     198
     199  mailjam-server -c /var/db/mailjam/mailjam.conf

     201.. seealso::
     202
     203   :doc:`running` contains more information about how to run the different
     204   components.
     205
     206If you have installed Mailjam using pip_, easy_install_ or even from sources,
     207the setup process should have taken care of the configuration files, adding
     208a copy of the default files included in the sources to the default
     209destination.
     210
     211.. warning::
     212
     213   The default destination will be different based on your operating system.
     214   For example, in most linux servers it will copy the files to */etc/mailjam*,
     215   while in BSD servers it will copy the files to */usr/local/etc/mailjam*.

    122225---------------
    123226
    124 TBW
     227In order to run a full Mailjam environment, you will have to start the different
     228components separately:
     229
     2301. :ref:`Start the daemon <running_daemon>`
     231
     2322. :ref:`Run the cli client and manage your mailing lists <running_cli_client>`
     233
     2343. :ref:`Add as much MTA clients as you need to your mail server<running_mta_client>`
     235
     236The daemon will have to be running all the time (it is the component responsible
     237for providing information to the clients). You will need the CLI client to add,
     238edit or delete mailing lists and each MTA client will be responsible to handle
     239incoming emails for each mailing list.

     4In order to run Mailjam, you have to run the different components, depending on
     5what you want to do. Basically, you will need to run a server
     6(:ref:`overview_mailjam_daemon`) all the time, then you will need one
     7:ref:`overview_mailjam_mta_client` per mailing list.
     8
     9Ocasionally, you will need to add or delete a mailing list, or edit its
     10information, members list, etc. To do that, you will have to run a Mailjam
     11client (either the :ref:`CLI client <overview_mailjam_cli_client>` or the
     12:ref:`Web client <overview_mailjam_web_client>`).

     139Edit your mail server aliases file [1]_ (probably */etc/aliases* or
     140*/etc/mail/aliases*) and add an entry like::

     160   unix-like systems it is done by the newaliases [2]_ command.
     161
     162.. _running_mta_client_explained:
     163
     164Explained configuration (you really want to know what's happening here)
     165+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
     166
     167When new messages arrive at your mail server for your mailing list address
     168(let's use the example address *list@mydomain.com*) one of the steps in the
     169process that checks the message, it's origin, destination, contents, etc is
     170the step where the mail server checks its internal *aliases* database, that is,
     171a list of *special* addresses that, instead of being *real* addresses, they are
     172related to some other addresses in some way.
     173
     174Most MTAs out there support one very *convenient* feature that is to *pipe* the
     175contents of the message (headers and body) to a given shell command. That means
     176that the all the received data will be sent to an external command for it to
     177process such data.
     178
     179**Here is where mailjam-mta comes in**.
     180
     181What you have to do is just tell your mail server that all messages with
     182destination *list@mydomain.com* (to keep using the same example address) will be
     183*piped* to mailman-mta. The Mailjam MTA client will then know what to do with
     184the message, performing some checks and re-sending it to the proper destinations
     185(the members/suscriptors of the given mailing list).
     186
     187So, first thing you have to find out is **where is your aliases file?**.
     188
     189In unix-like systems, like the different Linux distributions or the different
     190BSD flavours, that file is */etc/mail/aliases* or */etc/aliases* (usually one is
     191a simbolic link to the other).
     192
     193.. note::
     194
     195   Usually the aliases file contains some lines like::
     196
     197     MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
     198     postmaster: root
     199
     200Once you've found out where the file is, edit it and add this line to the bottom
     201of the file::
     202
     203  list@mydomain.com: "|/usr/local/bin/mailjam-mta -a list@mydomain.com -i -"
     204
     205.. warning::
     206   
     207   replace *list@mydomain.com* with the real address of your mailing list
     208
     209.. warning::
     210
     211   replace */usr/local/bin/mailjam-mta* with the real path to your mailjam-mta
     212   installation
     213
     214There you are telling your mail server that any message coming **to**
     215*list@mydomain.com* will be passed to the mailjam-mta command, passing some
     216parameters to it:
     217
     218- **-a list@mydomain.com** tells mailjam-mta that the message is actually for
     219  that mailing list. The MTA client will then use that value to check (against
     220  the mailjam daemon) if it is a valid mailing list.
     221
     222- **-i -** tells mailjam-mta that the message will be *piped* directly. This is
     223  important, as mailjam-mta can read the messages from files, but in this case
     224  the mail server will *pipe* the data directly to mailjam-mta.
     225
     226Once you've added that line to your *aliases* file, you have to rebuild your
     227*aliases* database::
     228
     229  newaliases
     230
     231.. warning::
     232
     233   Refer to your OS documentation to see how you can rebuild *aliases*. In most
     234   unix-like systems it is done by the newaliases [2]_ command.
     235
     236And you are done. Everything is ready now.
     237
     238.. _running_mta_client_parameters:
     239
     240Additional parameters
     241+++++++++++++++++++++
     242
     243You can pass some parameters to *mailjam-mta* to modify the behaviour of
     244the client or get more information.
     245
     246.. note::
     247
     248   Remember that the proper way to modify the behaviour of the client is
     249   editing its configuration file,
     250   :ref:`mailjam-mta.conf <configuration_mta_client>`
     251
     252.. _running_mta_client_help:
     253
     254--help
     255******
     256
     257You can get some help by passing the *-h* or *--help* parameters::
     258
     259  mailjam-mta -h
     260
     261::
     262
     263  mailjam-mta --help
     264
     265.. _running_mta_client_config:
     266
     267--config
     268********
     269
     270You can set the path to the config file the client will load on startup,
     271passing the *-c* or *--config* parameters::
     272
     273  mailjam-mta -c /home/mailjam/mailjam-mta.conf
     274
     275::
     276
     277  mailjam-mta --config /home/mailjam/mailjam-mta.conf
     278 
     279.. warning::
     280
     281   If the file does not exist, or if it is not a valid configuration file,
     282   an error will be shown and the client will refuse to start.
     283
     284.. _running_mta_client_version:
     285
     286--version
     287*********
     288
     289You can check the version of the mailjam client you are trying to run by
     290passing the *-v* or *--version* parameters::
     291
     292  mailjam-mta -v
     293
     294::
     295
     296  mailjam-mta --version
     297
     298.. _running_mta_client_address:
     299
     300--address (required)
     301********************
     302
     303This parameter is required (you have to provide it with a value in order to
     304run the mailjam-mta). It sets the address of the mailing list managed by this
     305MTA client instance.
     306
     307The MTA client will use the provided value to do some checks on the daemon,
     308retrieving all the needed data to perform its tasks.
     309
     310You can pass a valid address using both the *-a* and *--address* parameters::
     311
     312  mailjam-mta -a list@mydomain.com
     313
     314::
     315
     316  mailjam-mta --address list@mydomain.com
     317
     318.. _running_mta_client_input:
     319
     320--input
     321*******
     322
     323This parameter tells mailjam-mta from where it has to read the message sent
     324to the mailing list. That could be a local file (to be readed from disk) or
     325a stream of data coming directly from the standard input (*stdin*).
     326
     327For a regular configuration/setup, the second option is preferred, as the mail
     328server will send the stream of data directly to mailjam-mta (as
     329:ref:`explained before <running_mta_client_explained>`)::
     330
     331  mailjam-mta -i -
     332
     333::
     334
     335  mailjam-mta --input -
     336
     337But perhaps some time you would like to send (again) a message you have on disk,
     338that could be done easily, passing the path to the file containing that message
     339to mailjam-mta::
     340
     341  mailjam-mta -i /home/backups/mail/that-important-mail.txt
     342
     343::
     344
     345  mailjam-mta -input /home/backups/mail/that-important-mail.txt
