-# File :		mail_tests.sh
-#
-# Description:  Tests basic functions of mail system. The aim of the test is to
-#		make sure that certain basic functionality of mail is expected
-#		to work as per man page. There are 4 - 5 operations that are
-#		done on a regular basis wrt mail. ie.
-#
-#		   mail sent to an user@domain - received by that user@domain
-#		   mail is sent to nosuchuser@domain - mail delivery failure
-#		   mail is sent to user@nosuchdomain - mail delivery failure
-#		   mail to user1@domain and cc user2@domain - mail rec by both
-#		   mail to user1@domain and bcc user2@domain - mail rec by both
-#
-# Author:	  Manoj Iyer, manjo@mail.utexas.edu
-#
-# History:	  Jan 07 2003 - Created - Manoj Iyer.
-#		  Jan 09 2003 - Added Test #2 #3 #4 and #5.
-#		  Jan 10 2002 - Fixed various bugs I had introduced in the test.
-#			      - Added SETUP and CLEANUP sections
