• You can set the frequency of resolver query retransmission using the
Timeout.resolver.retrans.normal option. This option sets the
Timeout.resolver.retry.first option for the first attempt to
deliver a message. It also sets the
Timeout.resolver.retry.normal option for all resolver lookups
except for the first delivery attempt. The default setting for this
option is:
#O Timeout.resolver.retry=4
#O Timeout.resolver.retry.first=4
#O Timeout.resolver.retry.normal=4
DataFileBufferSize
Use this option to control the maximum size of a memory-buffered data
(df) file before using a disk-based file. The default setting for this option
is:
#O DataFileBufferSize=4096
XscriptFileBufferSize
Use this option to control the maximum size of a memory-buffered (xf)
transcript before using a disk-based file. The default setting for this
option is:
#O XscriptFileBufferSize=4096
MaxAliasRecursion
You can specify the maximum depth of an alias recursion in the
sendmail.cf file using this option. The default setting for this option is:
#O MaxAliasRecursion=10
PidFile
You can define the location of the ProcessId (Pid) file using this option.
The default setting for this option is:
#O PidFile=/etc/mail/sendmail.pid
/etc/mail/sendmail.pid is taken as the default file if this option is not
set. If you choose a directory other than /etc/mail for the pid file,
ensure that the directory has the same write permissions as those of
/etc/mail.
