76 | Chapter 2: Download, Build, and Install
Here we enable use of Sun??™s NIS+ services (?§3.4.36 on page 129) for any program that will
look up password, group, or similar information.
In Table 3-7 on page 121, the third column indicates whether it is appropriate to redefine a
particular macro in your Makefile. Where appropriate, most will be defined with a
confENVDEF macro.
2.7.15 confFORCE_RMAIL
Install the rmail program no matter what Build macro
The rmail(8) program is part of the UUCP suite of software. It handles mail that comes in
via UUCP, modifies some address information, and hands the result to sendmail.
The rmail program is supplied withth e sendmail source distribution because most implementations
of that program are deficient in many ways. The source for rmail is from BSD
4.4 Unix and is probably not suitable for other environments. If you actually run UUCP,
and if you need a more robust rmail, you are encouraged to port this program to your
system.
Because using or installing this version of rmail is not recommended, the default action of
Build is to print the following when invoked:
% cd rmail
% ./Build install
NOTE: This version of rmail is not suited for some operating
systems. You can force the install using
'make force-install'.
If you want to change this default action, you can do so by defining this confFORCE_RMAIL
macro:
define(`confFORCE_RMAIL??, `TRUE??)
With this definition in your m4 file, the default action of Build changes to:
% cd rmail
% .
