Table 24–3 Deprecated and Unsupported Configuration File Options for sendmail
Option |
Description |
---|---|
Because a denial-of-service attack could occur if this option is set, this option is not in version 8.12 of sendmail. Refer to the Release Notes that are part of the sendmail distribution at ftp://ftp.sendmail.org. A user could kill the sendmail process while the aliases file is being rebuilt and leave the file in an inconsistent state. Furthermore, because AutoRebuildAliases is not available, newaliases must be run manually now in order for changes to /etc/mail/aliases to become effective. Also, you must remember that because sendmail is no longer setuid root, only root can run newaliases. |
