Um, no, you need to start a SMTP conversation from another window; once
you connect, tcpserver will start up a qpsmtpd session under the
debugger. If you are just interested in debugging a single message,
Peter's construct is better, but you still need some other process to
generate the other end of the SMTP conversation.
I find that using swaks[1] to generate the test e-mail while I'm
debugging works very well. It will probably time out while you are
poking around, but if you break the code at the point where you want to
investigate (with the $DB::single line), that doesn't matter.
