An alternative configuration file can be specified using the -C flal; lor example,
/usr/lib/sendmail -Ctest.cf
uses the configuration file le81.e/ instead 01 the delault /.8r/lib/8endmail.e/. If the -C flag
has no value it defaults to 8endmail. e/ in the current directory.

Options can be overridden using the
-0
flag. For example,
/usr/lib/sendmail-oT2m
sets the T (timeout) option to two minutes for this run only.
4. TUNING

For example, the line "OT3d" sets option T to the value "3d" (three days).
4.1. Timeout.
AD time intervals are 5et using a scaled syntax. For example, "10m" represents ten
minutes, whereas "2h30m" represents two and a half hours. The full set of scales is:
s
seconds
m
minutes
h
hours
d days
w weeks
4.1.1. Queue Interval
The argument to the -q Bag specifies how otten a subdaemon will run the queue.
This is typically set to between five minutes and one hall hour.
4.1.1. Read timeout.
It is possible to time out when readinl the standard input or when reaciinl Irom a
remote SMTP server. Technically, this is not acceptable within the published
pro~

ments (such as an hour). This win reduce the chance of large numbers of idle daemons
piling up on your system. This timeout is set usinl the .. option in the configuration
