• The queue option allows multiple -qI, -qR, or -qS queue run
limiters.
For example, using Sendmail -qRfoo -qRbar will deliver mail to
recipients with foo or bar in their address.
•The map flag -Tx appends x to lookups that return temporary
failure. This is similar to -ax flag, which appends x to lookups that
return success.
•The QueueSortOrder option is case sensitive.
Changes to Sendmail Files and Databases
Sendmail files and databases are stored in the /etc/mail directory.
Sendmail utilities access these files and databases for their operation. If
you are logged in as a root user, warning messages are displayed when
you run any Sendmail utility that access these files and databases. The
warning messages are displayed only when the Sendmail files and
databases have incorrect permission for non-root users.
This section discusses the warning messages displayed when you execute
the Sendmail utilities mailstats and newaliases. This section also
describes the warning messages that appear when you send mail.
Finally, this section provides information on how you can resolve these
warning messages.
NOTE The warning messages do not indicate any error in the syntax of the
command.
The mailstats Utility
The mailstats utility enables you to collect the mail statistics stored in
the /etc/mail/sendmail.st file. If you run the mailstats utility with
root user permission, the following warning messages might appear:
#mailstats
warning: /etc/mail/sendmail.st has group read/write or world
read/write permission. This is unsafe
