and live under the path /var/spool/mqueues.
The second line correctly sets the queue for the aolmail queue group. The base path,
/var/spool/mqueues, is the same for both the default and this group. Note that queue
group directories can also specify multiple queues (as withth e /var/spool/mqueues/
bob.* in the third line).
The fourth line shows that the path specified with P= must not be a relative pathname.
If it is, sendmail will print and log the following error and exit:
QueuePath hotmail not absolute
The last line shows that the path specified with P= must not use a base pathdifferent
from the default. If it does, the following error will print and log, and sendmail will
exit:
QueuePath /var/spool/slowqueue not subpath of QueueDirectory /var/spool/mqueues: No such
file or directory
Note, however, that symbolic links under the default queue path are OK. That is,
you can declare the last line in the preceding example like the following, and then
simply make the path you specify a symbolic link to the real directory somewhere
else:
define(`QUEUE_DIR??,`/var/spool/mqueues/q.*??) ?†? the default
QUEUE_GROUP(`slow??, `P=/var/spool/mqueues/slowqueue??)
?†‘
a symbolic link to /var/spool/slowqueue
Note, however, that the path pointed to by the symbolic line must be as trusted as
the default path, with narrow ownerships and permission (?§24.
