The TempFileMode option is not safe. If specified from the command line, it can cause sendmail
to relinquish its special privileges.
24.9.119 Timeout
Set timeouts All versions
Many events can take a long time to complete??”so long, in fact, that they can cause sendmail
to appear to hang if they don??™t time out. For example, when reading commands or
data from a remote SMTP connection, the other side can be so slow that it becomes necessary
for the local sendmail to time out and break the connection. Similarly, when reading
from its standard input, sendmail might find that the program feeding it information is
taking so long that a timeout becomes necessary.
The V8 version of the sendmail program has introduced defaults for the amount of time it
waits under various circumstances. The forms of the Timeout option are as follows:
O Timeout.keyword=value ?†? configuration file (V8.7 and later)
-OTimeout.keyword=value ?†? command line (V8.7 and later)
define(`confTO_keyword??,` value??) ?†? mc configuration (V8.7 and later)
O Timeout=keyword=value,... ?†? configuration file (V8.6)
-OTimeout=keyword=value,... ?†? command line (V8.6)
define(`confREAD_TIMEOUT??,``keyword=value,...????) ?†? mc configuration (V8.6)
Orkeyword=value,... ?†?configuration file (V8.1 through V8.5)
* V8 sendmail no longer supports freeze files.
