HP-UX Reference (11i v2 03/08) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

s
sendmail(1M) sendmail(1M)
w ‘‘write’’ back the error message (or mail it back if the sender is not logged in).
If the text of the message is not mailed back by modes
m or w, and if the sender is local
to this machine, then 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
Use this option to set the maximum number of times a message is allowed to ‘‘hop’’
before it is considered in a loop.
IgnoreDots
Use this option to instruct sendmail to ignore dots in a line by themselves as a mes-
sage terminator.
SendMimeErrors
Send error messages in MIME format.
ConnectionCacheTimeOut=
timeout
Set connection cache timeout.
ConnectionCacheSize=
N
Set connection cache size.
Loglevel=n
Set the log level.
MeToo Send to ‘‘me’’ (the sender) also if the sender is in an alias expansion.
CheckAliases
Validate the right hand side of aliases during a
newaliases command. See
newaliases (1M).
OldStyleheaders
Set this option to have old style headers in the message. If not set, this message is
guaranteed to have new style headers (i.e., commas instead of spaces between
addresses). If set, an adaptive algorithm is used that will correctly determine the
header format in most cases.
QueueDirectory=queuedir
Select the directory in which the messages are to be queued.
StatusFile=file
Use this option to save mail traffic statistics into the specified file.
DeadLetterDrop
Define the location of the system-wide dead.letter file.
ConnectOnlyTo
Override the connection address (for testing).
TrustedUser
Define trusted user for changing the file ownership and also for starting the daemon.
ControlSocketName
Set this option to create a daemon control socket. This socket allows an external pro-
gram to control and query status from the running sendmail daemon via a named
socket.
MaxMimeHeaderLength
Limit the size of MIME headers and parameters within those headers. This option is
intended to protect mail user agents (MUAs) from buffer overflow attacks.
MaxAliasRecursion
Specify the maximum depth of alias recursion.
PidFile Define the location of the pid file. The /etc/mail/sendmail.pid file will be the
default even if this option is not set.
ProcessTitlePrefix
Specify a prefix string for the process title shown in ps listings.
