1.3.8. lete/re
It will be necessary to start up the .endmtJiI daemon when your system reboots.
This daemon performs two lunctions: it listens on the SMTP socket lor connections (to
receive mail from a remote system) and it processes the queue periodically to insure
that mail gets delivered when hosts come up.
Add the following lines to / dc/ rc (or / dc/ rc.loctJl as appropriate) in the area
where it is starting up the daemons:
if ( -f /usr/lib/sendmail
J;
then
fi
(cd /usr/spool/mqueue; rm -f (lDxJf.)
/usr /lib/sendmail -bd -q30m .t
echo -n ' sendmail'
>
/dev /console
The cd and rm commands insure that aD lock files have been removed; extraneous lock
files may
be
left around if the system goes down in the middle 01 processinl a message.
The line that actually invokes ,entlmtJil has two 8ags: -bel causes it to listen on the
SMTP port, and -q30m causes it to run the queue every half hour.
If you are not runDing a Vel'8iOD 01 UNIX that supports Berkeley TCP /IP, do not
include the -bd 8ag.
