- What is Where and Why
-
- The distribution of files in this directory tree is as follows:
-
- sendmail.cf/ - root directory
-
- cf.m4 -
- site and host independent portions of the sendmail configuration
- (excluding mailers)
-
- mailers.m4 -
- site and host independent mailer definitions
-
- doc/ -
- various documentation
-
- awk/ -
- various useful (at least to me) awk scripts
-
- bin/ -
- useful shell scripts
-
- src/ -
- source for useful 'C' programs
-
- hostname/ -
- host dependent files
-
- hostname/Makefile -
- makefile for sendmail.cf for this host
-
- hostname/localdomain -
- local domain for this site (e.g., HARVARD.EDU)
-
- hostname/options -
- various sendmail options (log level, queueing interval, etc.)
-
- hostname/trusted -
- list of trusted users (those users who can specify 'from' addresses,
- usually uucp and daemon)
-
- hostname/defines -
- global sendmail configuration options
-
- hostname/hostnames -
- definitions of net-hostnames and mail servers and/or clients
-
- hostname/relays -
- definitions of relay hosts
-
- hostname/relayrules -
- special routing rules
-
- /usr/local/lib/mail/mailhosts
- list of hostnames which are local, including any and all aliases for
- those hosts. Any host which is addressed without a domain will be
- considered local, so this file is not completely necessary, but it
- is useful for addresses like 'host!user', which is transformed
- to 'user@host.UUCP' for non-local hosts, and 'user@host' for local
- hosts.
-
- /usr/local/lib/mail/mailhosts.ether -
- list of local hosts which are reachable via ethernet
-
- /usr/local/lib/mail/mailhosts.bitnet -
- list of local hosts which are reachable via bitnet
-
- /usr/local/lib/mail/mailhosts.decnet -
- list of local hosts which are reachable via decnet
-
- /usr/local/lib/mail/mailhosts.uucp -
- list of local AND non-local hosts which are reachable via direct UUCP
-
- /usr/local/lib/mail/mailhosts.arpadomains
- list of known top-level ARPAnet domains
