-q
Don’t strip quotes from key V8.7 and later
Ordinarily, sendmail strips all the nonescaped quotation marks (those not prefixed with a backslash) from a key before looking it up. For example, the following key:
"Bob "bigboy" Roberts \(esq\)"@bob.com
will have its nonescaped quotation marks removed and end up looking like this:
Bob "bigboy" Roberts (esq)@bob.com
Note that all escaped characters are de-escaped (have the backslash removed) during this process.
When quotation marks and escaped characters need to be
preserved in a key before it is looked up, you can
use the -q switch
with the K
configuration command. The -q switch suppresses dequoting and
de-escaping.
