• IPC is replaced by TCP as the first mailer argument (A=) for [IPC] builtin mailer
pathnames. If IPC is used as a first mailer argument in the mailer pathnames, the
following warning messages are logged in the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
file:
Msmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
Mesmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE

• HP supports only the functionality that is listed in the README file and features
in the gen_cf script. Apart from these features and functionalities, HP does not
provide support to other changes that you make to the sendmail.cf file.
• The AutoRebuildAliases option is removed.
• The -U command-line option used for the initial user submission is removed.
• The support for non-standard SMTP command XUSR is removed. You must use
an MSA instead.
Known Problems
Following are the known problems in Sendmail 8.13.3:
• You must use the O DaemonPortOptions=Name=NoMTA, Addr=127.0.0.1,
M=E, in submit.mc to avoid problems with host name resolution for the localhost.
This is because many systems do not resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1 (or ::1 for IPv6).
If you do not use IPv4 addresses and use only IPv6 addresses, you must complete
the following steps to change the
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/submit.mc file:
1. Change [127.0.0.1] to[IPv6:::1] in the submit.mc file as follows:
FEATURE(‘msp’, ‘[IPv6:::1]’)dnl
2. Run the following commands to regenerate the submit.cf file:
# cd /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/
# ./gen_cf
3. Select the option “6: Generate submit.cf” in the main menu of the gen_cf
script.
4. Copy the /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/submit.cf.gen file to
/etc/mail/submit.cf.
5. To start the Sendmail daemon, run the following command at the HP-UX
prompt:
/sbin/init.d/sendmail start
• You must not move queue files if queue groups are used. In previous versions of
Sendmail, this causes non-delivery of mails when a queue file is repeatedly moved
by an external process and Sendmail is moved it back into the right place. Some
precautions are taken to avoid moving queue files, if moving them is not really
