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 the fictitious "newmail" program in +place of sendmail. +.Bd -literal +# Emulate sendmail using postfix +sendmail /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail +send-mail /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail +mailq /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail +newaliases /usr/libexec/postfix/sendmail +.Ed +.Sh FILES +/etc/mailer.conf +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr mail 1 , +.Xr mailq 1 , +.Xr mailwrapper 8 , +.Xr newaliases 1 , +.Xr sendmail 8 . +.Sh HISTORY +.Nm +appeared in +.Nx 1.4 . +.Sh AUTHORS +Perry E. Metzger <perry@piermont.com> +.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. |
