arg1=
The argument to a check_ rule set syslog equate
When sendmail processes one of
the check_ rule
sets (The Local_check_ Rule Sets on page 252) and when that rule set rejects a
message, sendmail logs one of
the following two messages:
... ruleset=rset, arg1=firstarg, discard ... ruleset=rset, arg1=firstarg, reject=reason
Here, rset is the name of the
rule set called (such as check_mail, Local_check_mail and check_mail
on page 255). The workspace passed to the rule set
is indicated by
firstarg.
Note that some check_ rule sets (such as check_relay, Local_check_relay and check_relay on page 252) take more than one argument. If so,
the workspace is provided with the first argument
separated from the second with a $| operator. When a
second argument is supplied, the log lines shown
earlier will have an arg2= equate added which shows that
second argument.
When a message is rejected, a reason is passed back to
the original envelope sender. That reason is echoed
with the reject=reason
(reject= on page
526).
