For example, the
following extract from that file illustrates the earlier example:
LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS [Prmn9] The flags used by the local mailer. The
flags lsDFMAw5:/|@q are always included.
See the section describing a particular delivery agent to find an appropriate mc macro with
which to redefine the F= for that delivery agent. See Table 20-1 on page 717 for a guide to
all delivery agents.
Beginning withV8.10 sendmail, you instead use the MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS mc
command described in the previous section.
20.5.7 L=
Maximum line length V8.1 and later
The L= delivery agent equate is used to limit the length of text lines in the body of a mail
message. If this equate is omitted and if the delivery agent has the obsolete F=L delivery
agent flag set (?§20.8.34 on page 775), sendmail defaults to SMTPLINELIM (990) as defined
in conf.h (?§3.4.59 on page 144). If the F=L is clear (as it is in modern configuration files),
sendmail defaults to 0 (which means an unlimited line length). The F=L is honored for
compatibility with older versions of sendmail that lack this L= delivery agent equate.
Limiting line length causes overly long lines to be split. When an output line is split, the
text up to the split is first transmitted, followed by the ! character. After that, the characters
defined by the E= delivery agent equate are transmitted.
