DescriptionOption
Sendmail looks up the aliases database for the local user name unless
you put a backslash () before the local user name. To prevent Sendmail
from performing unnecessary alias lookups, put backslashes before
local user names. For example:
local_users: amy, carrie, sandy, anne, david,
tony remote_users: mike,
denise mike: [e-mail]
denise: bigvax!amlabs!denise
user_name
The remote address syntax that Sendmail understands is configured
in the Sendmail configuration file and usually includes RFC 822 style
addressing (user@domain) and UUCP style addressing (host!user).
For example:
chess_club: [e-mail], marie@buffalo,
bigvax!amlabs!denise
remote_address
An absolute pathname on the local machine. Sendmail appends the
message to the file if the following conditions are true:
• The file exists, is not executable, and is writable by all.
• The directory where the file resides is readable and searchable by
all. Example:
public: /tmp/publicfile terminal: /dev/tty
Mail addressed to public is appended to /tmp/publicfile. Mail
addressed to terminal appears on the sender’s terminal.
