s
sendmail(1M) sendmail(1M)
-U Initial (user) submission. This flag should always be set when sendmail is called from a
user agent such as mail or elm. This flag should never be set when called from a net-
work delivery agent such as rmail.
-v Go into verbose mode. Alias expansionswill be announced, etc.
-Venvid Set the original envelope identification. This is propagated across SMTP to servers that
support DSN’s (delivery status notification) and is returned in DSN-compliant error mes-
sages.
-Xlogfile Log all traffic in and out of mailers in the indicated log file. This should only be used as a
last resort for debugging mailer bugs. It will log a lot of data very quickly.
-- Stop processing command flags and use the rest of the arguments as addresses.
Processing Options
There are also a number of processing options that may be set. Normally these will only be used by a sys-
tem administrator. Options may be set either on the command line using the -o flag or in the
configuration file, /etc/mail/sendmail.cf. The options are:
AliasFile=file
Use alternate alias file.
HoldExpensive
On mailers that are considered ‘‘expensive’’ to connect to, do not initiate immediate con-
nection. This requires queuing.
CheckpointInterval=
N
Checkpoint the queue file after every N successful deliveries (default 10). This avoids
excessive duplicate deliveries when sending to long mailing lists interrupted by system
crashes.
DeliveryMode= x
Set the delivery mode to x. Delivery modes are
i interactive (synchronous) delivery.
b background (asynchronous) delivery.
q queue only; expect the messages to be delivered the next time that the queue is
run.
d deferred; the same as q except that database lookups (DNS and NIS lookups) are
avoided.
ErrorMode=x
Set error processing to mode x. Valid modes are
m mail back the error message.
w ‘‘write’’ back the error message (or mail it back if the sender is not logged in).
p print the errors on the terminal (default).
q throw away error messages (only exit status is returned).
e do special processing for the BerkNet.
If the text of the message is not mailed back by modes m or w and if the sender is local to
this machine, a copy of the message is appended to the file
dead.letter in the
sender’s home directory.
SaveFromLine
Save UNIX -style From lines at the front of messages.
MaxHopCount= N
The maximum number of times a message is allowed to ‘‘hop’’ before it is considered in a
loop.
IgnoreDots
Do not take dots on a line by themselves as a message terminator.
SendMimeErrors
Send error messages in MIME format.
