${cn_subject}
Common name of certificate V8.11 and later
As a part of the STARTTLS form of authentication and
encryption, certificates are usually exchanged. If a
certificate is presented by the other side, this
${cn_issuer}
macro is assigned the CN of that certificate. That
value might look like this:
Juan+20Garcia ← a person's name Garcia's+20Software ← a business name
See Macro Xtext Translations on page 795 to find how and why the value in this macro undergoes special translation.
${cn_subject} is
transient. If it is defined in the configuration
file or in the command line, that definition can be
ignored by sendmail. Also note
that a $&
prefix is necessary when you reference this macro in
rules (that is, use $&{cn_subject}, not ${cn_subject}).
