/etc/sysconfig/sendmail

The /etc/sysconfig/sendmail file allows messages to be sent to one or more clients, routing the messages over whatever networks are necessary. The file sets the default values for the Sendmail application to run. Its default values are set to run as a background daemon and to check its queue each hour in case something has backed up.

Values include:

• DAEMON=<value>, where <value> is one of the following:

• yes - Sendmail should be configured to listen to port 25 for incoming mail. yes implies the use of Sendmail's -bd options.

• no - Sendmail should not be configured to listen to port 25 for incoming mail.

• QUEUE=1h which is given to Sendmail as -q$QUEUE. The -q option is not given to Sendmail if /etc/sysconfig/sendmail exists and QUEUE is empty or undefined.
