Configuring and Administering Sendmail
Modifying the Default Sendmail Configuration File
Chapter 2 53
ProcessTitlePrefix
You can specify the prefix string for the process title shown in the ps
listings using this option. By default, this option is commented. For
example, if you set this option in the sendmail.cf file as:
O ProcessTitlePrefix=HPUX_Sendmail-8.11.1
the command ps -ef | grep sendmail | grep -v grep displays
sendmail: accepting connections in the output.
TrustedUser
You can use this option to specify a user who can own important files
instead of root. This option necessitates fchown. The default setting for
this option is:
#O TrustedUser=root
MaxMimeHeaderLength
You can set the size of the MIME headers and parameters within those
headers using this option. You can also use this to protect Mail User
Agents (MUA) from buffer overflow attacks. The default setting for this
option is unlimited, as shown in the following example:
#O MaxMimeHeaderLength=0/0
DeadLetterDrop
Use this option to specify the location of the system-wide dead.letter
file, which was formerly hardcoded to /var/tmp/dead.letter. The
default setting for this option in this version is:
O DeadLetterDrop=/var/tmp/dead.letter
Sendmail does not save mail anywhere if this option is not set.

new configuration file does not contain any change that you have added
directly to the sendmail.cf file. You must reapply any such change to
