HP-UX Mailing Services Administrator's Guide (B2355-91064)

Queue Changes
The following miscellaneous enhancements have been made to the queue option:
• The queue option allows multiple -qI, -qR, or -qS queue run limiters.
For example, using Sendmail -qRfoo -qRbar will deliver mail to recipients
with foo or bar in their address.
• The map flag -Tx appends x to lookups that return temporary failure. This is
similar to -ax flag, which appends x to lookups that return success.
• The QueueSortOrder option is case sensitive.
Changes to Sendmail Files and Databases
Sendmail files and databases are stored in the/etc/mail directory. Sendmail utilities
access these files and databases for their operation. If you are logged in as a root user,
warning messages are displayed when you run any Sendmail utility that access these
files and databases. The warning messages are displayed only when the Sendmail files
and databases have incorrect permission for non-root users.
This section discusses the warning messages displayed when you execute the Sendmail
utilities mailstats and newaliases. This section also describes the warning messages
that appear when you send mail. Finally, this section provides information on how
you can resolve these warning messages.
NOTE: The warning messages do not indicate any error in the syntax of the command.
The mailstats Utility
The mailstats utility enables you to collect the mail statistics stored in the
/etc/mail/sendmail.st file. If you run the mailstats utility with root user
permission, the following warning messages might appear:
#mailstats
warning: /etc/mail/sendmail.st has group read/write or world
read/write permission. This is unsafe
