V8 Comments
Beginning with V8 sendmail, all lines of
configuration files of version levels 3 and above (The V Configuration Command on page 580)
can have optional trailing comments. That is, all text from
the first # character to
the end of the line is ignored. Any whitespace (space or tab
characters) leading up to the # is also ignored:
CWlocalhost mailhost # This is a comment
↑
from here to end of line ignoredTo include a # character in
a line under V8 sendmail, precede it
with a backslash:
DM16\#megs
Note that you do not need to escape the # in the $# operator. The $ has a higher precedence,
and $# is interpreted
correctly.
