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

Domaintable
Include a "domain table" which can be used to provide domain name mapping. Use
of this should really be limited to your own domains. It may be useful if you change
names (for example, your company changes names from oldname.com to
newname.com).
Send only
This option generates a sendmail.cf file without the check_compat ruleset. You
can send mail messages, but you cannot receive them.
You must set the SENDMAIL_SENDONLY flag in /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs
file to 1 in order to use the send_only feature.
Receive only
This option generates asendmail.cf file with a new set of rules called check_compat.
You can receive mail messages, but you cannot send them. The following are added
in the /etc/rc.config.d/mailservs file:
• SENDMAIL_RECVONLY
You must set this flag to 1 in order to use the receive_only feature.
• SENDMAIL_SENDONLY
You must set this flag to 1 in order to use the send_only feature.
NOTE: Sendmail depot installs the mailservs file in the directory
/usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d. You must manually move this file to
/etc/rc.config.d/ in order to use this feature.
The priorities for these flags are defined in the
/usr/newconfig/etc/rc.conig.d/mailservs file.
Creating Sendmail Aliases
The Sendmail aliases database stores mailing lists and mail aliases. You must create
the aliases database by adding aliases to the file /etc/mail/aliases and then by
running the /usr/sbin/newaliases command to generate the database from the
file. The generated alias database is stored in the file /etc/mail/aliases.db. The
Sendmail startup script also generates the aliases database when you reboot your
system.
Each user on your system can create a list of alternate mailing addresses in a .forward
file in the user’s home directory. The .forward file allows users to forward their own
mail to files or to other mailing addresses.
