+# This quick-and-dirty script supports only the happy case of SMTP session,
+# i.e. what gpg-mailgate/gpg-lacre needs to deliver encrypted email.
+#
+# It listens on the port given as the only command-line argument and consumes a
+# message, then prints it to standard output.  The goal is to be able to
+# compare that output with expected clear-text or encrypted message body.
