If th eident is missing,
sendmail prints the following error message and skips that particular rule set
declaration:
configfile: line num: invalid ruleset name: ""
Prior to V8.7 sendmail, th eident could only be numeric. Beginning withV8.7 sendmail,
th eident can be numeric or alphanumeric. We cover the old form first, then
the new.

19.1.1 Rule Set Numbers
Prior to V8.7 sendmail, rule sets could be identified only by numbers. When a rule
set is declared with an integer, that integer is taken to be the numeric identity of the
rule set:
S#
Here, # is an integer suchas 23. If the # is greater than 100* (the maximum number of
numbered rule sets allowed), or is negative, sendmail prints and logs the following
error:
configfile: line number: bad ruleset # ( maximum max)
and each rule following that bad rule set declaration will produce the following error:
configfile: line number: missing valid ruleset for "Rrule shown here???
19.1.2 Rule Set Names
Beginning withV8.7 sendmail, rule sets can be declared withnumbers (as in the preceding
section) or withmore meaningful names. The form for a rule set name declaration
looks like this:
Sname
The name can contain only ASCII alphanumeric characters and the underscore character.
