-d27.3
Forwarding path and alias wait Debug command-line switch
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 on page
1034).
The -d27.3
debugging switch also causes
sendmail to trace its wait
for another alias rebuild to complete (Rebuild the Alias Database on page
478). 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
an :include
: or
~/.forward
file:
include: read error: reason here
