Sendmail 8.11.1 Release Notes

-G

This option indicates that the message being submitted by the command line

is meant only for relaying and not for gateway submission. This implies that

the message will be rejected if the addresses are not fully qualified and

canonification will not be performed on the message.

NOTE: Mail User Agents (MUA) begin with "-G" to indicate that the message

submission is relayed.

2. -L

This option can be used to set the identifier in syslog messages to a supplied

tag.

Example:

/usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -L HP-Sendmail-8.11.1

HP-Sendmail-8.11.1 line is added to all the lines in

/var/adm/syslog/mail.log file.

3. -C

This option in "praliases" can be used to specify an alternate sendmail

configuration file used for finding the alias file.

4. -p (for ‘mailstats’)

This command can be used to print the output information in

program-readable mode and reset the statistics file.

5. Three new options are added in "makemap". They are:

a. "-C" to accept an alternate sendmail configuration file used to find the

‘TrustedUser’ option.

b. "-u" to dump (unmap) a database.

c. "-e" to allow empty values.

NOTE: For information on makemap, refer to makemap (1m) manual page.

• Other Features

In addition to the above, Sendmail 8.11.1 offers the following features:

1. Finer spam control by using tags for the LHS of the access map

You can now tag entries in the access map based on their type. Three tags are

available. They are:

a. Connect: connection information (${client_addr}, ${client_name})

b. From: sender

c. To: recipient
