The following table describes new 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, which 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 (Task)" in Chapter 25, Mail Services (Tasks).
Typically, you modify the equate definitions in the mailer directory only when you fine-tune.
