.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm mailer.conf
|
|
.Nd configuration file for
|
|
.Xr mailwrapper 8
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Pa /etc/mail/mailer.conf
|
|
contains a series of pairs.
|
|
The first member of each pair is the name
|
|
of a program invoking
|
|
.Xr mailwrapper 8
|
|
which is typically a symbolic link to
|
|
.Pa /usr/sbin/sendmail .
|
|
(On a typical system,
|
|
.Xr newaliases 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr mailq 1
|
|
would be set up this way.)
|
|
The second member of each pair is the name of the program to
|
|
actually execute when the first name is invoked.
|
|
The file may also
|
|
contain comments, denoted by a # mark in the first column of any line.

|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following is an example of how to set up an
|
|
.Nm
|
|
for traditional sendmail invocation behavior.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
# Execute the "real" sendmail program, named /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
|
|
sendmail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
|
|
send-mail /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
|
|
mailq /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
|
|
newaliases /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This example shows how to invoke a sendmail-workalike like Postfix in
|
|
place of sendmail.
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
# Emulate sendmail using postfix
|
|
sendmail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
|
|
send-mail /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
|
|
mailq /usr/local/sbin/sendmail
|
|
newaliases /usr/local/sbin/sendmail

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The entire reason this program exists is a crock.
|
|
Instead, a command
|
|
for how to submit mail should be standardized, and all the "behave
|
|
differently if invoked with a different name" behavior of things like
|
|
.Xr mailq 1
|
|
should go away.
