- >What is the meaning of "OR" in sendmail.cf?
-
- This has a SunOS meaning in Sun versions of sendmail.cf . It has no
- meaning in standard BSD versions.
-
- Roughly speaking, it means that all mail should be directly forwarded
- to the host from which the disk partition containing /var/spool/mail
- is mounted. The forwarding is usually done with no local processing,
- and none of the usual building of local queue files.
-
- Many people consider 'OR' a bad idea, and comment out that line.
