Your fully qualified host name is localhost.localdomain.
Putting localhost.localdomain into control/me...
Putting localhost.localdomain into control/defaultdomain...
Putting localhost.localdomain into control/plusdomain...
Putting localhost.localdomain into control/locals...
Putting localhost.localdomain into control/rcpthosts...

Now qmail will refuse to accept SMTP messages except to localhost.localdomain.
Make sure to change rcpthosts if you add hosts to locals or virtualdomains!

/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $HOME/Maildir

You can do several tests of messages entering the qmail system:

1. SMTP server test: Forge some mail locally via SMTP. Replace ``me''
   with your username and ``domain'' with your host's name.
       % telnet 127.0.0.1 25
       Trying 127.0.0.1...
       Connected to 127.0.0.1.
       Escape character is '^]'.
       220 domain ESMTP
       helo dude
       250 domain
       mail 
       250 ok
       rcpt 
       250 ok
       data
       354 go ahead
       Subject: testing

       This is a test.
       .
       250 ok 812345679 qp 12345
       quit
       221 domain
       Connection closed by foreign host.
       %
   Look for the message in your mailbox. (Note for programmers: Most
   SMTP servers need more text after MAIL and RCPT. See RFC 821.)
