mpe/ix implementation
issues
(things that work
differently)
•Sendmail programs don’t read
stdin terminal keyboard input
correctly. Workarounds:
– /bin/cat - | makemap hash
mymap
– makemap hash mymap <diskfile
•DeliveryMode=background on
MPE is a hybrid between
“background” and “interactive”
•Symlinks invoke different
personalities of SENDMAIL (I.e.
mailq, newaliases, etc), and these
only work properly from the POSIX
shell because the CI doesn’t
initialize ARGV[0]
•newaliases gives a “cannot
change ownership” warning which
can be ignored
