Sendmail 8.11.1 Release Notes

5. ‘-k’ - ldap search string (key)
String that defines how a ldap map takes its input value and initiates an ldap
search. For example,
-k (&(ObjectClass=mailrecipient) (mail=%0))
6. ‘-v’ - ldap attribute
Value that replaces the origin string in the map. In most cases, this will be the
rfc822 email address. For example,
-v mailroutingaddress
The ldap maps are defined in the configuration file as:
Kldap -1 -v mailHost -k (&(objectClass=inetLocalMailRecipient)
(mailLocalAddress=%0))
Kldapmra ldap -1 -v mailRoutingAddress -k
(&(objectClass=inetLocalMailRecipient) (mailLocalAddress=%0))
where
mailLocalAddress is the RFC 822 compliant email address of the recipient,
mailHostis the fully-qualified host name of the MTA that is the final SMTP
destination of the message to the recipient,
and, mailRoutingAddress is the RFC 822 address to be used when routing
messages to the SMTP MTA of the recipient.
• New Option Value for QueueSortOrder - Filename
This new option value alleviates your task of sorting the queue by opening each
queue file to get the host and time information. The queue files need not be opened
and read each time, when they are run. As a result, the queue processing becomes
faster.
This option can be set in the sendmail.cf file as:
O QueueSortOrder=Filename
• New Option Value for Privacy Options - nobodyreturn
This new option value instructs Sendmail to ignore the body of the original
message, when notifying the delivery status of the message.
This option can be set in the sendmail.cf file as:
O PrivacyOptions=nobodyreturn
