sendmail(1M) sendmail(1M)
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. The delivery modes are:
b background (asynchronous) delivery.
d deferred; the same as q except that database lookups (DNS and NIS lookups) are
avoided.
i interactive (synchronous) delivery.
q queue only; expect the messages to be delivered the next time when the queue is
run.
ErrorMode= x
Set error processing to mode x. The valid modes are:
e do special processing for the BerkNet.
m mail back the error message.
p print the errors on the terminal (default).
q throw away error messages (only exit status is returned).
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.
