Name
-d27.3
Synopsis
The -d27.3
debugging switch causes each path for a
possible .forward file to be printed before it
is tried:
forward: trying file
Here, file is each file in the path of files
declared by the ForwardPath
option (ForwardPath).
The -d27.3
debugging switch also causes
sendmail to trace its wait for another alias
rebuild to complete (Section 12.5.1). First
sendmail prints the database type (such as
hash
) and filename for which it will wait:
aliaswait(dbtype:file)
If the database is not rebuildable (as would be the case with a
network database type, such as nis,
nis+, or hesiod
), the
-d27.3
debugging switch causes the following to be
printed:
aliaswait: not rebuildable
If the file specified doesn’t
exist, the -d27.3
debugging switch prints:
aliaswait: no source file
The -d27.3
debugging switch also causes
sendmail to print an error message if there was
a read error while processing a :include
: or
.forward file:
include: read error: reason here
