+===== Mail Tester Script =====
+The script is based on zenity and the Postfix mail generator //smtp-source//. It is meant for testing mail-relays and what they return if something goes wrong. Or if you just need a lot of test mails send quickly.
+There are a couple of more options available but I don't need them at the time. If you need them you can use this as a starting point and then just add them yourself.
