On Linux distributions, \fBqmta-send\fR can be started by \fBsystemd\fR(1), | ||
using the unit file \fIPREFIX/share/indimail/boot/qmta-send.service\fR. You | ||
need to copy this file to /usr/lib/systemd/system and then use the | ||
\fBsystemctl\fR(1) command to enable it to be started automatically at | ||
boot. The qmta-send systemd unit file uses \fBsplogger\fR(8) to log | ||
messages to system journal logs using \fBsyslog\fR(3) function. This | ||
facilitates viewing, searching entries for \fBqmta-send\fR in the journal | ||
logs using the \fBjournalctl\fR(1) command. | ||
