InputMailFilters
Synopsis
Input mail filters and the X
configuration command
are described in Section 7.6.2. In the configuration
file, each filter defined with an X
configuration
command must also be listed with this
InputMailFilters
option for it to be used. With
the mc configuration, the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER
macro defines a filter with the X
configuration
command and automatically lists the filter with this
InputMailFilters
option. But the MAIL_FILTER
mc macro only defines the filter with the
X
configuration command, and does not list it with
this InputMailFilters
option. When using the
MAIL_FILTER mc macro, you need to also list your
filters with this option for them to be used.
The InputMailFilters
option is declared like this:
O InputMailFilters=list ← configuration file (V8.12 and later) -OInputMailFilters=list ← command line (V8.12 and later) define(`confINPUT_MAIL_FILTERS',`list')← mc configuration (V8.12 and later)
Here, list
is of type
string. It is a comma-separated list of the
names defined by the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER( ) or MAIL_FILTER( )
mc configuration commands (see Section 7.6.3 for a complete description of this option,
including possible error messages).
The InputMailFilters
option is not safe. If it is
specified from the command line, it can cause
sendmail to give up any special privileges.
