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.

NAME

       frozen-bubble-editor - a level editor for Frozen Bubble

SYNOPSIS

       frozen-bubble-editor [OPTION]...

DESCRIPTION

       This  editor lets you manipulate level-sets, in which you can add, remove and modify levels thanks to a mouse-oriented interface (there are
       also many interesting keyboard shortcuts). The interface is very straightforward: click on the written planches on the left an right  parts
       of  the screen to perform the relevant actions, and on the level area to change the bubble color; use the "void" bubble (or right-click) to
       remove a bubble.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show command-line options summary

       -fs, --fullscreen
	      start in fullscreen mode

       -lsFILENAME, --levelsetFILENAME
	      directly start with the specified levelset name

       -lNUMB, --levelNUMB
	      directly start the level number NUMB

       -cb, --colourblind
	      use special bubbles for colourblind people

KEY SHORTCUTS

       The following key shortcuts are available during level edition:

       F1     displays the help dialog

       p, h, left
	      previous level

       n, l, right
	      next level

       up     first level

       down   last level

       a      append level

       i      insert level

       d      delete level

       ]      move level right

       [      move level left

       j      jump to level (after j, enter level number, then Return)

       o      open levelset

       s      save levelset

       f      toggle fullscreen

       q, Escape
	      quit
