- <H2>Sendmail Configuration</H2>
- <P>
- Mail messages on the Internet are transferred from source to destination
- using the Sendmail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). On IRIX systems, SMTP
- is managed by the <VAR>sendmail</VAR> daemon. The configuration parameters
- that control mail processing are stored in the <VAR>/etc/sendmail.cf</VAR>
- file. The default Silicon Graphics configuration, which implements a subset
- of the available parameters, is satisfactory for most mail implementations.
- </P>
- <P>
- Use the Sendmail Configuration form to set the following parameters:
- </P>
- <P>
- <STRONG>Enable sendmail:</STRONG> This selection turns the
- sendmail daemon on or off. Select <VAR>Yes</VAR> to turn sendmail
- transfer on and <VAR>No</VAR> to turn it off.
- </P>
- (Default value: Yes)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Hostname of mail forwarder:</STRONG> The mail forwarder is a
- system outside the local organization where mail is sent when the
- destination system cannot be found. This should be a fully qualified
- hostname for the forwarder system (such as forwarder.pine.com).
- </P>
- (Default value: relay.DOMAIN)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Root domain name:</STRONG> This is the domain name for your
- entire organization (such as aspen.com). The domain name is normally
- provided by your Internet service provider.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Hostname of mail relay:</STRONG> The mail relay is the system that
- receives mail sent to a host within the organization whose destination cannot
- be determined. This must be the fully qualified hostname for the mail relay
- (such as relay.aspen.com).
- </P>
- (Default value: relay)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Local domain name:</STRONG> If your organization comprises
- multiple domains, this is the local domain for the Internet Gateway system
- (such as sub.aspen.com). If your organization comprises a single domain, this
- is the same as the root domain entry (aspen.com, in the example above).
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
- <P>
- <STRONG>Directory of the UUCP path-alias database:</STRONG> If the Internet
- Gateway uses UNIX-to-UNIX Copy (UUCP) for mail transfers, this is the directory
- for the database that is used to convert UUCP domain mail to the full pathname
- of the destination. This information is transferred inside a Usenet news
- group and compiled each night. Although UUCP is considered obsolete,
- a large number of sites still rely on it. To disable the pathalias database,
- enter <VAR>/dev/null</VAR> as the path-alias database name.
- </P>
- (Default value: /dev/null)
- <P>
- <STRONG>List of domains for which this host is the relay:</STRONG> If the
- Internet Gateway system is a relay host inside your organization, this list
- contains all domain names for which other systems specify the Internet Gateway
- as their mail relay host. Enter each domain name and press <VAR>Enter</VAR> after
- each entry.
- </P>
- (Default value: none)
