SMTP Server - dump email
Background:
I am replicating a set of servers into a "bubble" for testing. Those systems cannot be aware they are in a "bubble" so I must replicate all external services. I have successfully replicated most of those services except SMTP. I would like to configure an SMTP server that collects all email and effectively dumps it so I can review it later.

Setup:
I have a Solaris 10u9 setup with "Sendmail 8.14.4+Sun/8.14.4" currently listening on port 25 (this was setup by default). It will accept email but it never stays in the queue because any mail to be relayed is bounced back. I would like to receive the email and either have it sit in a queue or preferably be able to dump it to a text file.

Question:
a) Can I setup sendmail to accept all mail and silently queue it?
b) Is there a debug SMTP daemon for Solaris that will serve this same purpose?

It is in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file. The default setting is

O DeliveryMode=background

Change it to "queue" and restart sendmail. Also check the "-q30m" setting.

BUBBLES(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       BUBBLES(1p)

NAME

       bubbles - DNSSEC-Tools Rollrec Simple GUI Display

SYNOPSIS

	 bubbles [options] <rollrec-file>

DESCRIPTION

       bubbles gives a simple display of the roll status of a set of zones listed in a rollrec file.  In contrast, blinkenlights gives a detailed
       display of the roll status of a set of zones.  bubbles gives very little control over rollerd, the way blinkenlights does.  bubbles can
       halt rollerd's execution only.

       A rollrec file contains one or more rollrec records.  These records are used by the DNSSEC-Tools rollover utilities (rollerd, etc.) to
       describe zones' rollover states.  Each zone's rollrec record contains such information as the zone file, the rollover phase, and logging
       level.  rollrec files are text files.

       When bubbles starts, a window is created that has "bubbles" for each zone with a rollrec record in the given rollrec file.  (Clicking on a
       bubble doesn't do anything.)  By default, all zones with a display flag set on will be shown in the bubbles window.  Options may be given
       to modify this behavior.

       The zone bubbles are color-coded according to roll-over state.  The default colors are:

       * green: not in roll-over

       * yellow: in ZSK roll-over

       * red: in KSK roll-over

       These colors may be specified by the user via command-line options.

       In building the bubble window, bubbles window defaults to creating a square window.  This may be overridden by specifying the number of
       columns, using the -columns option.

OPTIONS

       bubbles supports the following options.

       -columns columns
	   This option allows the user to specify the number of columns to be used in the Button Window.

       -kskcolor color
	   Set the bubble color for zones that are performing KSK roll-overs.

       -zskcolor color
	   Set the bubble color for zones that are performing ZSK roll-overs.

       -noncolor color
	   Set the bubble color for zones that are not in roll-over.

       -ignore-display
	   Ignore the rollrec display flag and display every zone in the rollrec file.

       -interval wait-time
	   Interval between checks of the rollrec file.  By default, wait-time is given in minutes.  This can be adjusted by specifying one of the
	   following time-unit suffixes.

	   * s - seconds

	   * m - minutes

	   * h - hours

	   Examples:

	   * -interval 24 - 24 minutes

	   * -interval 24s - 24 seconds

	   * -interval 24m - 24 minutes

	   * -interval 24h - 24 hours

       -no-filter
	   This option turns off name filtering when bubbles presents a file-selection dialog for choosing a new rollrec file.	If this option is
	   not given, then the file-selection dialog will only list regular files with a suffix of .rrf.

       -showksk
	   Show the zones that are performing KSK roll-overs.

       -shownonrolls
	   Show the zones that are not in roll-over.

       -showrolls
	   Show the zones that are performing either type of roll-over.

       -showzsk
	   Show the zones that are performing ZSK roll-overs.

       -help
	   Give a usage message and exit.

       -Version
	   Displays the version information for bubbles and the DNSSEC-Tools package.

REQUIREMENTS

       bubbles is implemented in Perl/Tk, so both Perl and Perl/Tk must be installed on your system.

KNOWN ISSUES
