Argument: friend, which
enables a spam-friend test, or hater, which enables spam-hater
test.
A new keyword that delays all checks. By using FEATURE(`delay_checks'), the rule sets check_mail
and check_relay are not called when a client connects or
issues a MAIL command, respectively. Instead, these rule
sets are called by the check_rcpt rule set. For details,
refer to the /usr/lib/mail/README
file.

keyword that accepts up to two arguments:
DNS server name
Rejection message
You can include this keyword multiple times.

you can also use to apply genericstable to subdomains of $=G.

Argument: For details, refer to the LDAP ROUTING section in /usr/lib/mail/README.
A new keyword
that implements LDAP address routing.

Argument: Path name of an LMTP-capable mailer. The default is mail.local, which is LMTP-capable in this Solaris release.
A
keyword that now sets the delivery status notification (DSN) diagnostic-code
type for the local mailer to the proper value of SMTP.

nocanonify
|
Argument: canonify_hosts
or nothing
A keyword that now includes the following features.
Permits a list of domains, as specified by CANONIFY_DOMAIN or CANONIFY_DOMAIN_FILE, to be passed to the $[ and $] operators for canonification.
Permits addresses that have only a host name, such as <user@host>, to be canonified, if canonify_hosts is specified
as its parameter.
Adds a trailing dot to addresses with more than
one component.
|
no_default_msa
|
Argument: None
A new keyword that
turns off sendmail's default setting from m4–generated
configuration files to listen on several different ports, an implementation
of RFC 2476.

does not allow the ! token, or nospecial,
which does allow the ! token.

relay_mail_from

Argument: The domain
is an optional argument.
A new keyword that allows relaying if
the mail sender is listed as a RELAY in the access map
and is tagged with the From: header line. If the optional domain argument is given, the domain portion of the mail sender
is also checked.
|
virtuser_entire_domain
|
Argument: None
A keyword that you can now use to
apply $={VirtHost}, a new class for matching virtusertable entries that can be populated by VIRTUSER_DOMAIN or VIRTUSER_DOMAIN_FILE.
FEATURE(`virtuser_entire_domain') can also apply the class $={VirtHost} to entire subdomains.

Revised MAILER() Declaration for m4
Configuration
The MAILER() declaration specifies support for delivery
agents. To declare a delivery agent, use the following syntax.
In this new version of sendmail, the MAILER(`smtp') declaration now includes an additional mailer, dsmtp,
which provides on-demand delivery by using the F=% mailer
flag. The dsmtp mailer definition uses the new DSMTP_MAILER_ARGS, which defaults to IPC $h.
