The following table describes additional equates that you can use with the M delivery-agent definition command. The following syntax shows you how to append new equates or new arguments to the equates that already exist in the configuration file.
Magent-name, equate, equate, ... |
The following example includes the new W= equate. This equate specifies the maximum time to wait for the mailer to return after all data has been sent.
Msmtp, P=[IPC], F=mDFMuX, S=11/31, R=21, E=\r\n, L=990, W=2m |
When you modify the definition of a value for m4 configuration, use the syntax that is provided in the following example.
define(`SMTP_MAILER_MAXMSGS', `1000') |
The preceding example places a limit of 1000 on the number of messages that are delivered per connection on an smtp mailer.
If you need to build a new sendmail.cf file, refer to Building the sendmail.cf Configuration File in Chapter 13, Mail Services (Tasks).
Typically, you modify the equate definitions in the mailer directory only when you fine-tune.
