Unsupported Features
Following are the unsupported features in Sendmail 8.13.3:
• The inbuilt [TCP] mailer pathname (P=) is deprecated. Use the [IPC] option
instead.
• The ldapx map class is replaced by the ldap map class.
• The rbl feature is deprecated. Use the endnsbl instead of the rbl feature.
• IPC is replaced by TCP as the first mailer argument (A=) for [IPC] builtin mailer
pathnames. If IPC is used as a first mailer argument in the mailer pathnames, the
following warning messages are logged in the /var/adm/syslog/mail.log
file:
Msmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
Mesmtp: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
Msmtp8: Warning: first argument in [IPC] mailer must be TCP or FILE
• HP supports only the functionality that is listed in the README file and features in
the gen_cf script. Apart from these features and functionalities, HP does not provide
support to other changes that you make to the sendmail.cf file.
• The AutoRebuildAliases option is removed.
• The -U command-line option used for the initial user submission is removed.
• The support for non-standard SMTP command XUSR is removed. You must use an
MSA instead.
Known Problems
Following are the known problems in Sendmail 8.13.3:
• You must use the O DaemonPortOptions=Name=NoMTA, Addr=127.0.0.1,
M=E, in submit.mc to avoid problems with host name resolution for the localhost.
This is because many systems do not resolve localhost to 127.0.0.1 (or ::1 for IPv6).
If you do not use IPv4 addresses and use only IPv6 addresses, you must complete
the following steps to change the
/usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/submit.mc file:
1. Change [127.0.0.1] to[IPv6:::1] in the submit.mc file as follows:
FEATURE(‘msp’, ‘[IPv6:::1]’)dnl
2. Run the following commands to regenerate the submit.cf file:
# cd /usr/newconfig/etc/mail/cf/cf/
# ./gen_cf
3. Select the option “6: Generate submit.cf” in the main menu of the gen_cf
script.
