10.3.2 Set Up sendmail.cf for mail.local
Before you can use the mail.local program, you need to prepare your sendmail configuration
file. The easiest way to do this is with the FEATURE(local_lmtp). In your mc
configuration file, add the following line:
FEATURE(`local_lmtp??)
MAILER(`local??)
Note that this feature must precede the declaration of your local MAILER. It sets the
F= flags for the local delivery agent to ???PSXfmnz9??? (?§20.5.6 on page 743), sets the T=
DSN diagnostic code (?§20.5.17 on page 755) to ???SMTP,??? and finally sets the A=
delivery agent equate (?§20.5.2 on page 738) to run mail.local like this:
mail.local -l
The command-line argument -l (?§10.3.3.7 on page 364) tells mail.local to speak
LMTP with sendmail when delivering messages locally.
* Note that this will not work from the top-level sendmail source directory. Instead, you must change into the
mail.local directory first.
