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

The “Verify permissions for the sendmail files” menu option verifies the permission
of the Sendmail files. You can use the gen_cf script to verify the permissions of the
Sendmail files.
The “Correct permissions for the sendmail files” menu option corrects the permissions
of the Sendmail files. You can use the gen_cf script to verify the permissions of the
Sendmail files.
The “Create User and Queue for MSP” menu option creates a user and queue for MSP.
NOTE: For more information on the gen_cf submenu options, you can select the
“10. Help” main menu option.
Options Configured Using the /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/gen_cf Script
Following are the options that you can configure in Sendmail using the
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/gen_cf script:
NOTE: When you create a new sendmail.cf file using the gen_cf script, the 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 the newly created
configuration file. Therefore, HP recommends that you take backup of the configuration
file that contains your changes, in case you want to run the gen_cf script again to
generate the configuration file again.
Relay On
This option is equivalent to selecting the following
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/gen_cf script options while generating the
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/sendmail.cf.gen file:
• Accept unresolvable domains
• Accept unqualified senders
• Promiscuous relay
Relay OFF
This option generates a sendmail.cf file which is identical to the default
sendmail.cf available in the /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/ directory.
If this option is used with mutually exclusive options, this option does not turn OFF
the relay. The other options take precedence over the RELAY OFF option.
Relay Entire Domain
Setting this option, will allow any host in your domain as defined by the m class macro
($=m) to relay. By default, only hosts listed as RELAY in the access db file will be allowed
to relay.
