-I

Synonym for -bi Deprecated

The -I command-line switch is a synonym for the -bi command-line switch and the newaliases name. It is obsolete but retained for compatibility with the delivermail(1) program (the precursor to sendmail).

The -I switch is deprecated and might not be included in future versions of sendmail. The -I switch is present only if sendmail was built with DBM defined.
