When you build a con81uratioD table, you can do a certain amouDt 01 testinl
using the "test mode"

For example, you could iDvoke .en4mail u:
sendmail -bt -Ctest.cf
which would read the cODftguratioD 81e

In this mode, you

application or rules to an input; ruleset three
is
alway8 applied first. For example:
1,21,4 monet:bollard
first applies ruleset three
to
the input "moDet:boUard." Ruleset ODe is theD applied to
the output

ruleset three, lollowed similarly by rulesets tweDty-oDe and lour.
If you need more detail, you can also use the -clil 8ag to tum OD more debul-

sendmail -bt -d21.99

To add an outgoinl mailer to your mail system, you wiD have
to
deftne the
characteristics
01
the mailer.
Each mailer must have an internal Dame. This
CaD
be arbitrary, except that the
names "local" and "prog" must be deftned.
The path name
01
the mailer must be liveD iD the P fteld.
II this mailer should be
accessed via an
IPC
connection, use the strinl
"(IPC)"
instead.
The F field defines the mailer 8ags. You should specify
aD
"r'
or "r" lIal to pall
the name
01
the sender as a -lor
-r 8al respectively. These lIal8 are only passed if
they were passed
to ,endmail,
80
that mailers that give errors under some circumstances
can
be
placated.
If
the mailer is Dot picky you caD just specify
"-I ,,"
in the arlv
template. If the mailer must be called as root
the "S" lIal should be given; this will
not reset the userid before calling the mailer'.
II
this mailer is local (i.e., wiD perlorm
final delivery rather than another network hop) the
"I" lag should be liveD. Quote
characters (backslashes and " marks) can be stripped lrom addresses
il the "s" lIal is
specified; if this is not given they are passed through. If the mailer is capable 01
send-
ing to more than one user on the same host iD a single transactioD the "m" 8al should
be stated. If this flag is on, then the argv template containinl
Su
wiD be repeated lor
each unique user OD a given host. The "e" las wiD mark the mailer as beiDI "expen-
sive," which will cause
BentlmtJil
to deler cODDectioD uDtii a queue rUD·.
An unusual case is the "C" 8al. This 8al applies to the mailer that the messale
is received from, rather thaD the mailer
