The following table describes the new command-line options for the mail.local program, which is used by sendmail as a delivery agent for local mail.
Table 21–21 New Command-Line Options for mail.local
Option |
Description |
---|---|
-7 |
Prevents the local mail transfer protocol (LMTP) mode from advertising 8BITMIME support in the LHLO response |
-b |
Causes a permanent error instead of a temporary error if a mailbox exceeds its quota |
mail.local is the default for LMTP mode. However, for this release, if you choose to use mail.local as the local delivery agent without being in LMTP mode, you need to do one of the following to set the S flag.
Use the following syntax for the configuration file.
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL', `+S') # for the configuration file |
Alternately, perform the following two steps for m4 configuration.
define(`MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS', `S')dnl # first step MAILER(local)dnl # second step |
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS is a new macro that is used to build the configuration file. For details, refer to New Macros Used to Build the sendmail Configuration File.
