SSeennddmmaaiill does internetwork for- - warding as necessary to deliver the message to the correct place. - - SSeennddmmaaiill is not intended as a user interface routine; other programs pro- - vide user-friendly front ends; sseennddmmaaiill is used only to deliver pre-for- - matted messages. - - With no flags, sseennddmmaaiill reads its standard input up to an end-of-file or - a line consisting only of a single dot and sends a copy of the message - found there to all of the addresses listed. It determines the network(s) - to use based on the syntax and contents of the addresses. - - Local addresses are looked up in a file and aliased appropriately. - Aliasing can be prevented by preceding the address with a backslash. - Normally the sender is not included in any alias expansions, e.g., if - `john' sends to `group', and `group' includes `john' in the expansion, - then the letter will not be delivered to `john'. - - PPaarraammeetteerrss - - --BB_t_y_p_e Set the body type to _t_y_p_e. Current legal values 7BIT or - 8BITMIME. - - --bbaa Go into ARPANET mode. All input lines must end with a CR-LF, - and all messages will be generated with a CR-LF at the end. - Also, the ``From:'' and ``Sender:'' fields are examined for - the name of the sender. - - --bbdd Run as a daemon. This requires Berkeley IPC. SSeennddmmaaiill will - fork and run in background listening on socket 25 for incom- - ing SMTP connections. This is normally run from _/_e_t_c_/_r_c. - - --bbDD Same as --bbdd except runs in foreground. - - --bbhh Print the persistent host status database. - - --bbHH Purge the persistent host status database. - - --bbii Initialize the alias database. - - --bbmm Deliver mail in the usual way (default). - - --bbpp Print a listing of the queue. - - --bbss Use the SMTP protocol as described in RFC821 on standard in- - put and output. This flag implies all the operations of the - --bbaa flag that are compatible with SMTP. - - --bbtt Run in address test mode. This mode reads addresses and - shows the steps in parsing; it is used for debugging configu- - ration tables. - - --bbvv Verify names only - do not try to collect or deliver a mes- - sage. Verify mode is normally used for validating users or - mailing lists. - - --CC_f_i_l_e Use alternate configuration file. SSeennddmmaaiill refuses to run as - root if an alternate configuration file is specified. - - --dd_X Set debugging value to _X. - - --FF_f_u_l_l_n_a_m_e Set the full name of the sender. - - --ff_n_a_m_e Sets the name of the ``from'' person (i.e., the sender of the - mail). --ff can only be used by ``trusted'' users (normally - _r_o_o_t, _d_a_e_m_o_n, and _n_e_t_w_o_r_k) or if the person you are trying to - become is the same as the person you are. - - --hh_N Set the hop count to _N. The hop count is incremented every - time the mail is processed. When it reaches a limit, the - mail is returned with an error message, the victim of an - aliasing loop. If not specified, ``Received:'' lines in the - message are counted. - - --ii Ignore dots alone on lines by themselves in incoming mes- - sages. This should be set if you are reading data from a - file. - - --NN _d_s_n Set delivery status notification conditions to _d_s_n_, which can - be `never' for no notifications or a comma separated list of - the values `failure' to be notified if delivery failed, - `delay' to be notified if delivery is delayed, and `success' - to be notified when the message is successfully delivered. - - --nn Don't do aliasing. - - --OO _o_p_t_i_o_n=_v_a_l_u_e - Set option _o_p_t_i_o_n to the specified _v_a_l_u_e. This form uses long - names. See below for more details. - - --oo_x _v_a_l_u_e Set option _x to the specified _v_a_l_u_e. This form uses single - character names only. The short names are not described in - this manual page; see the _S_e_n_d_m_a_i_l _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _O_p_e_r_a_t_i_o_n - _G_u_i_d_e for details. - - --pp_p_r_o_t_o_c_o_l Set the name of the protocol used to receive the message. - This can be a simple protocol name such as ``UUCP'' or a pro- - tocol and hostname, such as ``UUCP:ucbvax''. - - --qq[_t_i_m_e] Processed saved messages in the queue at given intervals. If - _t_i_m_e is omitted, process the queue once. Time is given as a - tagged number, with `s' being seconds, `m' being minutes, `h' - being hours, `d' being days, and `w' being weeks. For exam- - ple, `-q1h30m' or `-q90m' would both set the timeout to one - hour thirty minutes. If _t_i_m_e is specified, sseennddmmaaiill will run - in background. This option can be used safely with --bbdd. - - --qqII_s_u_b_s_t_r Limit processed jobs to those containing _s_u_b_s_t_r as a sub- - string of the queue id. - - --qqRR_s_u_b_s_t_r Limit processed jobs to those containing _s_u_b_s_t_r as a sub- - string of one of the recipients. - - --qqSS_s_u_b_s_t_r Limit processed jobs to those containing _s_u_b_s_t_r as a sub- - string of the sender. - - --RR _r_e_t_u_r_n Set the amount of the message to be returned if the message - bounces. The _r_e_t_u_r_n parameter can be `full' to return the - - entire message or `hdrs' to return only the headers. - - --rr_n_a_m_e An alternate and obsolete form of the --ff flag. - - --tt Read message for recipients. To:, Cc:, and Bcc: lines will - be scanned for recipient addresses. The Bcc: line will be - deleted before transmission. - - --UU Initial (user) submission. This should _a_l_w_a_y_s be set when - called from a user agent such as MMaaiill or eexxmmhh and _n_e_v_e_r be - set when called by a network delivery agent such as rrmmaaiill. - - --VV _e_n_v_i_d Set the original envelope id. This is propagated across SMTP - to servers that support DSNs and is returned in DSN-compliant - error messages. - - --vv Go into verbose mode. Alias expansions will be announced, - etc. - - --XX _l_o_g_f_i_l_e Log all traffic in and out of mailers in the indicated log - file. This should only be used as a last resort for debug- - ging mailer bugs. It will log a lot of data very quickly. - - ---- Stop processing command flags and use the rest of the argu- - ments as addresses. - - OOppttiioonnss - There are also a number of processing options that may be set. Normally - these will only be used by a system administrator. Options may be set - either on the command line using the --oo flag (for short names), the --OO - flag (for long names), or in the configuration file. This is a partial - list limited to those options that are likely to be useful on the command - line and only shows the long names; for a complete list (and details), - consult the _S_e_n_d_m_a_i_l _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _O_p_e_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The options are: - - AliasFile=_f_i_l_e - Use alternate alias file. - - HoldExpensive - On mailers that are considered ``expensive'' to connect to, - don't initiate immediate connection. This requires queueing. - - 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' for inter- - active (synchronous) delivery, `b' for background (asyn- - chronous) delivery, `q' for queue only - i.e., actual deliv- - ery is done the next time the queue is run, and `d' for de- - ferred - the same as `q' except that database lookups (no- - tably DNS and NIS lookups) are avoided. - - ErrorMode=_x - Set error processing to mode _x. Valid modes are `m' to mail - back the error message, `w' to ``write'' back the error mes- - sage (or mail it back if the sender is not logged in), `p' to - print the errors on the terminal (default), `q' to throw away - error messages (only exit status is returned), and `e' to do - special processing for the BerkNet. If the text of the mes- - sage 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 _d_e_a_d_._l_e_t_t_e_r 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 we decide it is in a loop. - - IgnoreDots Do not take dots on a line by themselves as a message termi- - nator. - - SendMimeErrors - Send error messages in MIME format. If not set, the DSN (De- - livery Status Notification) SMTP extension is disabled. - - ConnectionCacheTimeout=_t_i_m_e_o_u_t - Set connection cache timeout. - - ConnectionCacheSize=_N - Set connection cache size. - - LogLevel=_n The log level. - - MeToo Send to ``me'' (the sender) also if I am in an alias expan- - sion. - - CheckAliases - Validate the right hand side of aliases during a newalias- - es(1) command. - - OldStyleHeaders - If set, this message may have old style headers. 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=_q_u_e_u_e_d_i_r - Select the directory in which to queue messages. - - StatusFile=_f_i_l_e - Save statistics in the named file. - - Timeout.queuereturn=_t_i_m_e - Set the timeout on undelivered messages in the queue to the - specified time. After delivery has failed (e.g., because of - a host being down) for this amount of time, failed messages - will be returned to the sender. The default is five days. - - UserDatabaseSpec=_u_s_e_r_d_a_t_a_b_a_s_e - If set, a user database is consulted to get forwarding infor- - mation. You can consider this an adjunct to the aliasing - mechanism, except that the database is intended to be dis- - tributed; aliases are local to a particular host. This may - not be available if your sendmail does not have the USERDB - option compiled in. - - ForkEachJob - Fork each job during queue runs. May be convenient on memo- - ry-poor machines. - - SevenBitInput - Strip incoming messages to seven bits. - - EightBitMode=_m_o_d_e - Set the handling of eight bit input to seven bit destinations - to _m_o_d_e: m (mimefy) will convert to seven-bit MIME format, p - (pass) will pass it as eight bits (but violates protocols), - and s (strict) will bounce the message. - - MinQueueAge=_t_i_m_e_o_u_t - Sets how long a job must ferment in the queue between at- - tempts to send it. - - DefaultCharSet=_c_h_a_r_s_e_t - Sets the default character set used to label 8-bit data that - is not otherwise labelled. - - DialDelay=_s_l_e_e_p_t_i_m_e - If opening a connection fails, sleep for _s_l_e_e_p_t_i_m_e seconds - and try again. Useful on dial-on-demand sites. - - NoRecipientAction=_a_c_t_i_o_n - Set the behaviour when there are no recipient headers (To:, - Cc: or Bcc:) in the message to _a_c_t_i_o_n: none leaves the mes- - sage unchanged, add-to adds a To: header with the envelope - recipients, add-apparently-to adds an Apparently-To: header - with the envelope recipients, add-bcc adds an empty Bcc: - header, and add-to-undisclosed adds a header reading `To: - undisclosed-recipients:;'. - - MaxDaemonChildren=_N - Sets the maximum number of children that an incoming SMTP - daemon will allow to spawn at any time to _N. - - ConnectionRateThrottle=_N - Sets the maximum number of connections per second to the SMTP - port to _N. - - In aliases, the first character of a name may be a vertical bar to cause - interpretation of the rest of the name as a command to pipe the mail to. - It may be necessary to quote the name to keep sseennddmmaaiill from suppressing - the blanks from between arguments. For example, a common alias is: - - msgs: "|/usr/bin/msgs -s" - - Aliases may also have the syntax ``:include:_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e'' to ask sendmail to - read the named file for a list of recipients. For example, an alias such - as: - - poets: ":include:/usr/local/lib/poets.list" - - would read _/_u_s_r_/_l_o_c_a_l_/_l_i_b_/_p_o_e_t_s_._l_i_s_t for the list of addresses making up - the group. - - SSeennddmmaaiill returns an exit status describing what it did. The codes are - defined in <_s_y_s_e_x_i_t_s_._h>: - EX_OK Successful completion on all addresses. - EX_NOUSER User name not recognized. - EX_UNAVAILABLE Catchall meaning necessary resources were not - available. - EX_SYNTAX Syntax error in address. - EX_SOFTWARE Internal software error, including bad arguments. - EX_OSERR Temporary operating system error, such as ``cannot - fork''. - EX_NOHOST Host name not recognized. - EX_TEMPFAIL Message could not be sent immediately, but was - queued. - - If invoked as nneewwaalliiaasseess, sseennddmmaaiill will rebuild the alias database. If - invoked as mmaaiillqq, sseennddmmaaiill will print the contents of the mail queue. - -FFIILLEESS - Except for the file _/_e_t_c_/_s_e_n_d_m_a_i_l_._c_f itself and the daemon process ID - file, the following pathnames are all specified in _/_e_t_c_/_s_e_n_d_m_a_i_l_._c_f_. - Thus, these values are only approximations. - - /etc/aliases raw data for alias names - /etc/aliases.db data base of alias names - /etc/sendmail.cf configuration file - /etc/sendmail.hf help file - /var/log/sendmail.st collected statistics - /var/spool/mqueue/* temp files - -SSEEEE AALLSSOO - binmail(1), mail(1), rmail(1), syslog(3), aliases(5), mailaddr(7), - rc(8); - - DARPA Internet Request For Comments _R_F_C_8_1_9, _R_F_C_8_2_1, _R_F_C_8_2_2. - - _S_e_n_d_m_a_i_l _- _A_n _I_n_t_e_r_n_e_t_w_o_r_k _M_a_i_l _R_o_u_t_e_r, No. 9, SMM. - - _S_e_n_d_m_a_i_l _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _a_n_d _O_p_e_r_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e, No. 8, SMM. - -HHIISSTTOORRYY - The sseennddmmaaiill command appeared in 4.2BSD. - -4th Berkeley Distribution August 2, 1998 6 |
