If you need to change this value at the mc configuration level, you must first copy
an existing delivery agent definition, and then modify it as outlined in ?§20.3.2 on page 715.
If the E= delivery agent equate??™s argument is missing, the following error message is printed
and the E= becomes undefined:
mailer agent_name: null end-of-line string
20.5.6 F=
Delivery agent flags All versions
The F= delivery agent equate is probably more fraught with peril than the others. The
delivery agent flags specified with F= tell sendmail how the delivery agent will behave and
what its needs will be. These delivery agent flags are used in one or more of three ways.
First, if a header definition relies conditionally on a delivery agent flag:
H?P?Return-Path: <$g >
?†‘
apply if P delivery agent flag is specified in F= delivery agent equate
and if that delivery agent flag is listed as a part of the F= delivery agent equate:
Mlocal, P=/bin/mail, F=rlsDFMmnP, S=10, R=20, A=mail -d $u
?†‘
apply in header
that header is included in all mail messages that are sent via this delivery agent.
Second, if a delivery agent needs a special command-line argument that sendmail can
produce for it but requires that argument only under special circumstances, selected F=
delivery agent flags can produce that result. For example, the F=f delivery agent flag specifies
that the delivery agent needs a -f command-line switchwh en it is forwarding network
mail.
