Sendmail-8.9.3
new at 11i
original release
A new version of sendmail, sendmail-8.9.3, is included with HP-UX 11i. This version
provides additional features compared to the previous version. The sendmail-8.8.6
sendmail.cf file is compatible with the sendmail-8.9.3 binary. However, to take
advantage of all the new features provided in this version, HP highly recommends that
you use the default sendmail.cf file provided in the /usr/newconfig/etc/mail
directory. Any site specific changes will need to be made as required.
New Features
New features in sendmail-8.9.3 include:
• Lightwight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) support for address lookup
• New configuration file options:
MaxHeadersLength
Used to limit the maximum length of a mail header. The default
maximum length is 32768.
MaxRecipientsPerMessage
Used to limit the number of recipients for a single mail message if
the recipients have their mailboxes on the same mail server. The
maximum value for this option is 100.
DontBlameSendmail
Used to enforce a security check on the mode files that sendmail
reads and writes. The default value of this option is “safe.”

This option is NOT case sensitive.

PrivacyOptions=noetrn
The noetrn flag will disable the SMTP ETRN command that forces
sendmail to process its queue asynchronously.
