Name
-d27.2
Synopsis
The -d27.2
debugging switch causes each
:include
: and .forward
filenames to be printed before each is opened for reading:
include(file)
The -d27.2
debugging switch also causes additional
information to be printed for the alias loop check described earlier:
self_reference(addr) ... getpwnam(user)...found ← if in passwd file ... getpwnam(user)...failed ← otherwise
The -d27.2
debugging switch also causes
sendmail to print a message every time it sleeps
while waiting for the aliases database to be
rebuilt:
aliaswait: sleeping for secs seconds
Also, when processing the ~/.forward file,
sendmail might experience a temporary inability
to read it (such as when an NFS server is down). In that case the
-d27.2
debugging switch causes the following
message to be printed:
forward: transient error on home
Here the message will be queued and tried again later.
