Table 3-15 Configuration File Options Available in Version 8.13 of sendmail

Option	Description
`–ConnectionRateWindowSize`	`m4` name: `–confCONNECTION_RATE_WINDOW_SIZE` Argument: `number` Default value: `60` Sets the number of seconds for incoming connections to be maintained.
`–FallBackSmartHost`	`m4` name: `–confFALLBACK_SMARTHOST` Argument: `hostname` To ensure that mail gets delivered to the clients, this option provides a well-connected host that serves as a backup (or failover) for MX records that fail.
`–InputMailFilters`	`m4` name: `–confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS` Argument: `filename` Lists the input mail filters for the `sendmail` daemon.
`–PidFile`	`m4` name: `–confPID_FILE` Argument: `filename` Default value: `/system/volatile/sendmail.pid` As in previous releases, the file name is macro-expanded before it is opened. Additionally, in version 8.13, the file is unlinked when `sendmail` exits.
`–QueueSortOrder`	`m4` name: `–confQUEUE_SORT_ORDER` Added argument: `none` In version 8.13 `none` is used to specify no sorting order.
`–RejectLogInterval`	`m4` name: `–confREJECT_LOG_INTERVAL` Argument: `period-of-time` Default value: `3h`, which represents three hours. When a daemon connection is refused for the `period-of-time` specified, the information is logged.
`–SuperSafe`	`m4` name: `–confSAFE_QUEUE` Short name: `–s` Added argument: `postmilter` Default value: `true` If `postmilter` is set, `sendmail` defers synchronizing the queue file until all `milters` have signaled acceptance of the message. For this argument to be useful, `sendmail` must be running as an SMTP server. Otherwise, `postmilter` operates as if you are using the `true` argument.
