Sendmail has interfaces to three types of delivery agents. In verbose
mode, Sendmail reports its interactions with them as follows:
• Mailers that use SMTP to a remote host over a TCP/IP connection
(IPC mailers).
In verbose mode, Sendmail reports the name of the mailer used, each
MX host (if any) to which it tries to connect, and each Internet address
it tries for each host. When a connection succeeds, the SMTP
transaction is reported in detail.
• Mailers that run SMTP (locally) over pipes.
The name of the mailer used and the command line passed to exec()
are reported. Then the SMTP transaction is reported in detail. If the
mailer returns an abnormal error status, that is also reported.
• Mailers that expect envelope information from the Sendmail
command line and expect message headers and message body from
standard input.
The name of the mailer used and the command line passed to exec()
are reported. If the mailer returns an abnormal error status, that is
also reported.
