Additional Rule Sets From Version 8.12 of sendmail

The following table lists the additional rule sets and describes what the rule sets do.

Table 3-30  New Rule Sets
Set
Description
check_eoh
Correlates information that is gathered between headers and checks for missing headers. This rule set is used with the macro storage map and is called after all of the headers have been collected.
check_etrn
Uses the ETRN command (as check_rcpt uses RCPT).
check_expn
Uses the EXPN command (as check_rcpt uses RCPT).
check_vrfy
Uses the VRFY command (as check_rcpt uses RCPT).

The following list describes additional rule set features.

  • Numbered rule sets are also named, but the rule sets can still be accessed by their numbers.

  • The H header configuration file command allows for a default rule set to be specified for header checks. This rule set is called only if the individual header has not been assigned its own rule set.

  • Comments in rule sets (that is, text within parentheses) are not removed if the configuration file version is nine or greater. For example, the following rule matches the input token (1), but does not match the input token.

    R$+ (1)		$@ 1

  • sendmail accepts the SMTP RSET command even when it rejects commands because of TCP wrappers or the check_relay rule set.

  • You receive a warning if you set the –OperatorChars option multiple times. Also, do not set –OperatorChars after the rule sets are defined.

  • The name of the rule set, as well as its lines, are ignored if an invalid rule set is declared. The rule set lines are not added to S0.
