The S Configuration Command
The S configuration command
declares the start of a rule set. It is perhaps the simplest
of all configuration commands and looks like this:
SidentThe S, like all
configuration commands, must begin the line. The
ident identifies the rule
set. There can be whitespace between the S and the
ident. If the
ident is missing,
sendmail prints the following
error message and skips that particular rule set
declaration:
configfile: line num: invalid ruleset name: ""
Prior to V8.7 sendmail, the
ident could only be
numeric. Beginning with V8.7 sendmail,
the ident can be numeric or
alphanumeric. We cover the old form first, then the
new.
