- to answer my own questions on sendmail (in case anybody is interested)
-
- question: what rulesets are applied to what addresses?
- answer:
-
- envelope from: 3,1,4,3,1,S,4
- envelope to: 3,0,4 [4.2, sun2.0 and ultrix1.2 sendmails]
- 3,0,2,R,4 [4.3 sendmail]
- header from: 3,1,S,4
- header to: 3,2,R,4
-
- question: who sets $g and $f?
- answer:
-
- $g is result of -f command line parameter being passed through
- rulesets 3,1,4,3,1,S,4
- $f is result of -f command line parameter being passed through
- rulesets 3,1,4
-
- question: what part of the result of ruleset 0 gets passed through 4?
- answer:
-
- only the username (that which will become $u) gets passed through
- ruleset 4 after going through 3 and then 0, $h does not get passed
- through ruleset 4 after 3 and 0 [this is obvious, once you know it,
- but it is not stated anywhere.
-
- in case anyone is interested, i have a couple of things which go around
- sendmail, which help YOU discover these sorts of facts for yourself.
- if anyone is interested, i'll send it to you. it is much more realistic
- than "address test mode".
