20.4.6 *file* and *include*
Internal delivery agents V8.1 and later
The *file* delivery agent (the * characters are part of the name) handles delivery to files.
The *include* delivery agent handles delivery through :include: lists. Neither can be
considered a true delivery agent, however, because actual delivery is still handled internally
by sendmail. Instead, they provide a way to tune delivery agent behavior for these two
delivery needs.
The defaults for these delivery agents are predefined. They can be viewed with the
following command (note that output lines are wrapped to fit the page):*
% /usr/sbin/sendmail -d0.15 -bt < /dev/null | egrep "file|include"
mailer 1 (*file*): P=[FILE] S=parse/parse R=parse/parse M=0 U=0:0 F=9DEFMPloqsu L=0
E=\n T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix r=100 A=FILE $u
mailer 2 (*include*): P=/dev/null S=parse/parse R=parse/parse M=0 U=0:0 F=su L=0 E=\n
T=
// r=100 A=INCLUDE $u
These predefined defaults can be overwritten, however, by declaring *file* and *include*
in the configuration file. For example, the following configuration file declaration overrides
the internal definition shown earlier, and limits the size of any mail message that is
delivered to files to 1 MB:
M*file*, P=[FILE], M=1000000, F=9DEFMPloqsu, T=X-Unix/X-Unix/X-Unix, A=FILE $u
Note that any delivery agent equate that does not default to zero (such as the P=, F=, T=, and
A= delivery agent equates) needs to be copied to this configuration file declaration, or the
original value will be lost.
