How to Disable .forward Files

This procedure, which prevents automated forwarding, disables the .forward file for a particular host.

1. Become root or assume an equivalent role.

   For information about roles, refer to “Using Privileged Applications” in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

2. Make a copy of /usr/lib/mail/domain/solaris-generic.m4 or your site-specific domain m4 file.

   # cd /usr/lib/mail/domain # cp solaris-generic.m4 mydomain.m4

   mydomain

   Use the file name of your choice.

3. Add the following line to the file that you just created.

   define(`confFORWARD_PATH',`')dnl

   If a value for confFORWARD_PATH already exists in the m4 file, replace the value with this null value.

4. Build and install a new configuration file.

   If you need help with this step, refer to How to Build a New sendmail.cf File.

   Note –

   When you edit the .mc file, remember to change DOMAIN(`solaris-generic') to DOMAIN(`mydomain').
