9.86 on page 1065). If it is, the following warning is logged and
included in the outgoing message:
X-Authentication-Warning: login set sender to new name using -f
An example of one use for the -f switch can be seen in the previous section covering the -F
switch.
6.7.25 -G
Set gateway submission mode V8.10 and later
Use of the -G command-line switchindicates to sendmail that the message being submitted
from the command line is for relaying, and is not an initial submission. This switch is
primarily intended for use by the rmail(8) program, a part of the UUCP suite of programs.
Mail received by UUCP is mail that did not originate at the local site. It is intended to be
relayed outward to other sites, or to be delivered locally. Because mail received by UUCP is
not the initial (therefore, local) submission of a message, sendmail needs to be more strict
about what it will accept.
A message received withth e -G switchspecified will be rejected if the address is not fully
qualified. The -G command-line switchalso tells sendmail to perform no canonicalization
on the address. Note that future releases of sendmail might reject improperly formed
messages when this switch is specified.

can be required to deliver a message.
